Bio/Historical Note: Daryl Kenneth (Doc) Seaman was born in Rouleau, Saskatchewan, in 1922 and graduated from high school there in 1939. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 and served as a bomber pilot with the Royal Air Force in North Africa and Italy from 1941 to 1945. For his service he was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Croix de Guerre by the Government of France. After the war Seaman returned to Saskatchewan and earned a Mechanical Engineering degree in 1948. The following year Seaman and his two brothers, Byron and Donald, incorporated a small seismic drilling company in Alberta. This company later expanded into oil and gas well drilling, and oil and gas exploration and development. In 1962 the name of the company was changed to Bow Valley Industries Limited. In addition to being Chairman of the Board and a Director of Bow Valley Industries Ltd., Seaman was a Director of Crown Trust Company; Crown Trust Advisory Board; Pan-Alberta Gas Ltd.; Revelstoke Companies Ltd.; Marathon Realty Ltd.; Nova, An Alberta Corporation; and he was on the Board of Regents of the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame. Seaman’s interest in hockey began in Rouleau where he played hockey as an amateur. Seaman was one of the original six owners of the Calgary Flames, along with his brother Byron and four others. Under his co-ownership, the franchise won their only Stanley Cup in 1989. They reached two other Stanley Cup Finals. In 1993 Seaman was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Daryl Seaman died in Calgary in 2009 at age 86. In 2010 he was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame
