History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded by adding the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017, marking its first new franchise since 2000. This followed a unanimous 30-0 vote by the Board of Governors in June 2016, which charged a $500 million expansion fee. The Golden Knights' success, including over 500,000 fans in their inaugural season, paved the way for future expansions like the Seattle Kraken in 2021.
