Rod Seiling

Mailed out: May 28, 2014
Returned: July 17, 2014
c/o Ontario Racing Commission return #40

Very cool return, after mailing this out I read that Rod Seiling left the Ontario Racing Commission so I figured these cards we lost for good until they showed up in my mail box today! Seiling played one game with the Leafs in 1962 before being sent down to the minors. In 1964 while still bouncing around the minors he was chosen to represent Canada at the Winter Olympics, soon after that he was traded to the New York Rangers.

He was a regular on the Rangers blue line for the next ten seasons, the St Louis Blues picked him up in the expansion draft however the Rangers were quick to trade attain his rights. He wore the Maple Leaf once again.  at the '72 Summit Series.
