The Portland Rosebuds name was used by two professional
men's ice hockey teams based in Portland, Oregon. Both
played their home games at the Portland Ice Arena.

The first team played in the Pacific Coast Hockey
Association from 1914 to 1918. In 1916 they became the
first United States-based team to participate in the
Stanley Cup Finals.

The second Rosebuds team was born when the Regina Capitals
moved to Portland for the 1925-26 WHL season, the final
one for the Western Hockey League. When the league folded,
many of the players transferred to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Seattle Metropolitans were an ice hockey team based in
Seattle, Washington which played in the Pacific Coast
Hockey Association from 1915 to 1924. They won the Stanley
Cup in 1917, becoming the first American team to do so, by
defeating the National Hockey Association's Montreal
Canadiens three games to one by a combined score of 19 to
3

The California Golden Seals were a team in the National
Hockey League (NHL) from 1967-76. Initially named
California Seals, the team was renamed Oakland Seals
part-way through the 1967-68 season, and then to
California Golden Seals in 1970.

After nine money-losing seasons and continued low
attendance, minority owners George and Gordon Gund
persuaded partners to move the team to their hometown of
Cleveland in June 1976, where they were renamed the
Barons. After two more years of losses, the Gunds (by this
time majority owners) were permitted to merge the Barons
with the financially struggling Minnesota North Stars. The
merged team continued as the Minnesota North Stars under
the Gunds' ownership, but assumed the Barons' place in the
Adams Division.

The collapse of the Barons/Seals would prove the most
recent major professional team in North America to fold,
as well as the only team in the NHL to do so since 1942.
