History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded from six to twelve teams in 1967, marking its first expansion since the 1920s. This move was driven by the desire for a U.S. television contract and competition from the Western Hockey League. The addition of teams like the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins transformed player dynamics, leading to increased movement and competition, as seen in Brandon Bussi's recent transition from the Panthers to the Hurricanes.
