The 1975–76 California Golden Seals season would be the Seals' ninth and final season in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. The Seals were led by rookie Dennis Maruk. Maruk centered the 3M line with Bob Murdoch and Al MacAdam. Both Maruk and MacAdam scored over 30 goals while Murdoch led the team in power play goals. Although they recorded a solid improvement over the previous season, the Seals fell 7 points shy of a playoff spot.
