History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded in 1967, adding six teams, including the Los Angeles Kings, to counter the Western Hockey League's ambitions and boost U.S. viewership. This expansion doubled the league's size and laid the groundwork for its growth. By 2022, the Anaheim Ducks emerged as a competitive franchise, reflecting the NHL's enduring significance in American sports culture and regional rivalries.
