History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded in 1967, adding six teams, including the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers, which doubled the league's size to 12. This expansion led to a 50% revenue increase in subsequent years and restructured the league into East and West Divisions. The Detroit Red Wings, a founding team, now face intense competition, notably from the Vegas Golden Knights, reflecting the lasting impact of this pivotal change.
