This is the logo of the Los Angeles Kings’ National Hockey League team from their inaugural season in 1967, when they joined the NHL as one of 6 new expansion teams. The NHL had been comprised of 6 franchises dubbed the “Original Six”, and when the new clubs were added in ’67 they eventually became known as the “Additional Six”. The teams were stocked through an expansion draft, but Kings’ owner Jack Kent Cooke took the additional step of purchasing the AHL’s Springfield Indians’ franchise to bolster his club’s roster. They were one of the more successful of the new teams, finishing second in the Western Division (made up of all 6 new clubs), and also had the best won/loss record of all the new teams against the established Original Six, even winning a pair of games against the storied Montreal Canadiens.
