History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded from six to twelve teams in 1967, driven by the need for a U.S. television contract and competition from the Western Hockey League. This expansion included franchises like the Los Angeles Kings and Minnesota North Stars, significantly increasing the league's visibility. The ongoing evolution of the NHL, exemplified by the Seattle Kraken's recent success, continues to shape its competitive landscape and fan engagement.
