Staying in the Game: The Remarkable Story of Doc Seaman by Sydney Sharpe (Hardback, 2008)

Peter C. Newman called him the Totem of the Titans. From a small Prairie town, Daryl K. Doc Seaman became an icon of Canadian business and hockey. He is one of the last of a breed of postwar entrepreneurs and sportsmen who forged modern Canada, striking deals on a handshake and always keeping their word. After flying 82 combat missions during the Second World War, Doc Seaman worked in the oil industry with his brothers, turning a small Alberta drilling business into a global giant, Bow Valley Industries. Later, he led a group that brought the Atlanta Flames to Calgary. Still a Flames co-owner, he helped reshape Hockey Canada and restore Canadas glory in international hockey. Doc Seamans life is a remarkable saga of courage, resolve, generosity, and success. It ultimately leaves us t only with a deep appreciation of one iconic Canadian but also with a wider understanding of our country.
