History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded in 1967, adding six teams, including the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers, doubling its size to 12 franchises. This expansion was driven by the need for a U.S. television contract and competition from the Western Hockey League. The league's growth has since fostered talent like Connor McDavid and intense rivalries, notably with the Chicago Blackhawks, shaping its modern landscape.
