On the list of his many achievements, he was an original owner of the Calgary Flames and was instrumental in bringing them to Calgary in 1980. Among his many accomplishments, Doc was also known for his wartime experiences as a World War II pilot, and for his civic contribution as a member of the Royal Commission on Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada, 1982-1985.

Doc’s love for ranching, hockey and sports, and his dedication to community will leave a lasting legacy for years to come.
The legacy of legendary philanthropist Doc Seaman lives on through the Daryl K. Seaman Canadian Hockey Fund, an endowment fund administered by Calgary Foundation.
Thanks to the $30,000 grant from the Daryl K. Seaman fund, KidSport PEI will be able to help more than 100 PEI kids play a season of sport. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity and for allowing us to continue to help more kids play sports. We will continue working, So ALL Kids Can Play.
