Some sad news in the world of the Calgary Flames came down on Thursday morning. Former club co-owner Byron Seaman has passed away. He was 97.
The #Flames ownership, management and staff mourn the passing of Byron J. Seaman. Mr. Seaman was 1 of 6 community leaders who formed the original ownership group who brought the team to Calgary in 1980.
Our deepest sympathies to the Seaman family. https://t.co/ERqluSi7GE
