<p>It is also the 50th anniversary of the 6 team expansion of 1967.</p>
<p>Those 6 teams were the #Los_Angeles Kings, #Minnesota North Stars, #California Seals, #Philadelphia Flyers, #Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues. The #Minnesota North Stars are the #Dallas Stars now and the #California Seals or better known as the #Oakland Seals were moved to #Cleveland and eventually faded away as bad trades and poor management took its toll. The team has ties to the #San_Jose Sharks and the #History is interesting to read about.</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 2/13/16 6:18pm<br><p>Didn't the Seals mearge with the North Stars and then when the North Stars moved to Dallas they were "sold" back to the original owners?</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 2/13/16 6:19pm<br><p>The Sharks were formed by the original owners of the Seals so the Seals have history throughout the league!</p>

</div><div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 2/14/16 5:10pm<br><p>I researched the 6 team expansion a few years back and found the history of the Seals very intriguing.</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 2/14/16 5:12pm<br><p>I would love to see the Seals brought back as another expansion team. Maybe the Seattle Seals?? Has a nice ring to it.</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 2/14/16 5:13pm<br><p>I hope that the Stars and Sharks have some part in the celebration of the 6 team expansion since their history traces back to those teams.</p>
