1967-68 NHL season

Image:NationalHockeyLeague.png The 1967-68 NHL season was the 51st season of the National Hockey League. Twelve teams each played 74 games. This season saw the NHL expand from the "Original Six" teams by adding six new franchises. The St. Louis Blues, California Seals, Philadelphia Flyers, Minnesota North Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Los Angeles Kings were all put into the Western Division. This year also saw the addition of three new awards. With expansion came format change and with format change came a need for a new trophy for the winner of the newly formed Western Division. The new trophy, called the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, was for the winner of the West while the older trophy, the Prince of Wales, was for the winner of the East. The other two new awards were the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which was named in honour of Bill Masterton who died on 18 January, 1968 after sustaining an injury during a game, and the NHL Plus/Minus Award.
