Answer 2

The League has had many expansions over the years from it's founding in 1917 to the present day. The team currently has 30 teams actively playing.

There are 4 distinct eras: Founding which lasted till 1941, Original 6, 1942-1967, Expansion Era from 1967-1992 and the Modern Era.

There were more than 6 teams prior to World War 2, but 6 remained until the first expansion in 1967.

In 1967 the league expanded to an "East / West" conference with the original 6 going to the East, and the 6 new expansion teams to the West. This gave the expansion teams a chance to build their own rivalries, as well as be more competitive, while still having big name teams come to visit.

The original 6 expansion teams in 1967 were 1.) Pittsburgh Penguins 2.) Philadelphia Flyers 3.) St. Louis Blues, 4.) Minnesota North Stars, 5.) LA Kings 6.) California / Oakland Golden Seals

The league expanded again in 1970-71 by adding the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks (to the East division) and moving the Blackhawks to the West. The Hawks Dominated the West for Years to come until the Flyers Bully days of 1974.
