The year 1967 marked the end of the NHL's Original Six-era.
That was the year that the NHL expanded, branching out across the country to add six new teams. Thursday's The Fours Question of the Day asked which six teams were added to the NHL in 1967.
The expansion process officially began in 1965, when league president Clarence Campbell announced a new six-team division. The NHL Board of Governors reviewed applications from 14 ownership groups before making the final selection.
The teams chosen were the California Seals, the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota North Stars, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues.
As you know, four of those six teams still play in their original cities, while the Minnesota North Stars eventually relocated to Dallas in 1993. The California Seals ceased operations in 1978.
