History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded from six to twelve teams in 1967, introducing franchises like the Los Angeles Kings and Montreal Canadiens, which fueled the league's growth. This expansion marked a significant shift in hockey's popularity, particularly in Southern California, where the Kings' success in the late 1980s, bolstered by Wayne Gretzky's arrival, further intensified interest in the sport.
