History

Historical Context

The NHL expanded from six to twelve teams in 1967, marking the end of the Original Six era. This expansion included franchises like the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers, driven by fears of competition from rival leagues and the desire for a lucrative U.S. television contract.
