Can someone tell me the original six hockey teams?

[Archie]

chicago, Boston, Detroit, New York, Philly, Toronto, Montreal.... are all in my head, which one/s don't belong? seems like there should be more than 2 canadian teams, am I missing one and adding two US teams?

thanks

Philly doesn't belong. It is the other 6 you named.

 

[Archie]

ok thanks mudcat

Philly is still a teenager in hockey years. 1967.

 

[Archie]

when did Pittsburgh get their hockey team?

 

[Mudcat]

A bit of trivia. After existing as those 6 teams for many years, the NHL expanded and doubled in size for the 1967-68 season. Can you name those 6 expansion teams?

We already have Philly and I'll list the others below it in white:

Philadelphia Flyers
Pittsburgh Penguins
St. Louis Blues
Los Angeles Kings
Minnesota North Stars
California Seals

the next 6.... hmmm i'm gonna just guess randomly...

new jersey, hartford, edmonton, winnipeg, calgary, pittsburgh

 

[reno cool]

new jersey were the Colorado Rockies, I'll tell you that. Hartford I believe was the other league. whal, I think

Bad ass teenager at that! Fuk yo! St. Louis, and LA were two others. Know the Blues cause they won the western division I think the first year?

 

[MrMonkey]

Maybe Minnesota North Stars?

Not Calgary, they were Atlanta Flames, and Winnipeg was in other league cause I remember Bobby Hull going there for big $. Think he was the first big name star to switch leagues?

 

[MrMonkey]

Vancouver Canauks another guess thinking they have to let Canada have something?

All the expansion teams were put in their own division. Saint Louis made it through the division to the Cup finals the first three years (losing all three).

Philly was the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup.



(In case I wasn't clear, the answer to the trivia question is in the post where I asked it. You just need to drag your mouse and highlight the area under where it says the Flyers.)

 

[reno cool]

that's a nice trick Muddy

 

[FairWarning]

California Golden Seals
Philly Flyers
Pitt Penguins
St Louis Blues
Minny North Stars
LA Kings

Yes, I knew this

 

[Mudcat]

Strictly speaking, the California Golden Seals is not correct. The expansion franchise was named the California Seals. Later it was renamed the Oakland Seals and then a few years later the California Golden Seals.
