 In 1963 , Rangers governor William Jennings introduced to his peers the idea of expanding the league to the American West Coast by adding two new teams for the 1964 – 65 season . His argument was based around concerns the Western Hockey League intended to operate in the near future as a major league . Jennings also hoped inclusion of teams on the west coast would make the league truly national , and thereby , improve the chances of returning to television in the United States as the NHL had lost its deal with CBS . While the governors did not agree to the proposal , the topic of expansion surfaced every time the owners met subsequently . In 1965 , there was agreement to expand by six teams , doubling the size of the NHL . San Francisco – Oakland and Vancouver were declared " acceptable cities " with Los Angeles and St. Louis as potential sites . Fourteen applications were received from across Canada and the United States , including four from Los Angeles .
