The Dallas (North) Stars?
Believe it or not, the Dallas Stars have not always been a Dallas fixture! In fact, they haven't even always been the Stars! The Dallas Stars are (GASP!) transplanted Yankees!Although up to ten teams were a part of the National Hockey League during its early years, beginning in the 1942-43 season the league operated with six teams. On March 11, 1965, NHL President Clarence Campbell announced that the league would expand to twelve teams hrough the creation of a new six-team division for the 1967-68 season. The California Seals, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Minnesota North Stars joined the league at that time.
The expansion teams experienced limited success for quite some time. The California Seals traveled and especially bumpy road. They were renamed Oakland Seals, a name which would later transform to the California Golden Seals. The team was eventually relocated to Cleveland in 1976, where they operated as the Cleveland Barons for two seasons. The club was not able to overcome financial difficulties was merged into the into Minnesota North Stars in 1978.
The North Stars had some success in Minnesota, but the ownership was not popular with fans, and the team went several years without earning a profit. They also could not make a deal for a new arena. As a result, on March 11, 1993 team owner Norman Green and Dallas Mayor Steve Bartlett announced that the Minnesota North Stars would become the Dallas Stars.
