On This Date in Minnesota History: February 9
February 9, 1966 – “On March 11, 1965, NHL
President Clarence Campbell announced that the league would expand to twelve
teams from six through the creation of a new six-team division for the 1967–68 season.
In response to Campbell's announcement, a partnership of nine men, led by
Walter Bush, Jr. and John Driscoll, was formed to seek a franchise for the Twin
Cities area of Minnesota. Their efforts were successful, as the NHL awarded one
of its six expansion franchises to Minnesota on [this date].”
