... Your Daily Fix ...

Since the 1942-43 season, the NHL had boasted only six teams in its roster. But in 1966, threats of a competing league on the west coast and a desire to broaden the NHL’s appeal lead to expansion. Six new teams join the Origi-nal Six, drastically changing hockey’s playing field. The decision to expand is regarded with much skepticism. Some are also upset that no Canadian team is chosen for the newly devised West Division. One thing’s for sure: Canada’s national sport will never be the same again.

• The National Hockey league was founded in 1917. By 1926, salary increas-es and growth into the U.S. brought 10 teams into the league. But due to the Great Depression, ensuing financial difficulties and the Second World War, as of 1942, the NHL was reduced to what would be known as the Original Six. They were: the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the De-troit Red Wings, the Boston Bruins, the New York Rangers and the Chicago Blackhawks.

• After the Second World War, the rise of talented minor league players strengthened the Western Hockey League. There was fear in the NHL that this growing league was planning on joining the majors, becoming a com-petitive force in professional hockey. Added to that, the NHL wanted to ac-quire a new TV contract in the U.S. akin to those of Major League Baseball and the National Football League. The decision to expand the NHL in 1966 was seen as a way to meet both challenges head on.

• Vancouver was one city really upset by the creation of the West Division. Despite a strong bid to add the franchise, it was left out in the cold. It was believed that politics played a big part in the rejection, as Toronto and Mon-treal were unwilling to share CBC-TV money with another Canadian team. Vancouver would have to wait until 1970 when another expansion brought it into the NHL.

• For many, the years between 1942 and 1967 were seen as the Golden Age of Hockey. By 1967 -- the 50th anniversary of the NHL -- each of the six teams was playing 70 games. With so few teams and the high level of talent adorning the ice, it has been said that the calibre of play during that period was greater than any time since.

• Some argued that, as the league increased in size, less-talented players joined the NHL roster, dimin-ishing the quality of the game. Finesse, these critics argued, was replaced with aggressive tactics and displays of mediocrity. Despite the opponents who mourned the loss of the Golden Age, one expansion led to another and another -- in 1970, 1972 and 1974. As of 2006, 30 teams make up the National Hockey League.

• The changes that began in 1966 had far-reaching implications for those who held the firm belief that the game of hockey belonged to Canada. In 1966, 96 per cent of the league’s players were Canadian. By 1991, that figure was at 71 per cent and falling. • The six teams, termed the Expansion Six, that joined the NHL in 1966 were: The California Seals (later the Golden Seals), the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota North Stars, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues.

NEW to the

Coop

There was a rich man who was approached by a poor beggar asking for food.The rich man asked, “Do you smoke? I could give you some cigarettes.”The beggar responded, “No, I don’t. I am just hungry and want food.”Then the rich man asked, “Do you drink? I have a bottle of good whiskey I could give you.”The beggar replied, “No, I don’t drink. I am just hungry and need food.”Finally the rich man asked, “Do you gamble? I could give you some good tips on the races this weekend.”The beggar again replied, “No. I am just hungry and want some food.”Finally the rich man said, “Well, in that case, I had better take you to my home.”He invited the beggar into his car and drove him to his very substantial home. There, he introduced the beggar to his wife, who asked, “What are you going to do with this man? Are you going to invite him to live with us, eat our food, and wear our clothes?”The man replied, “No, of course not. I just wanted to show you what happens to a man who doesn’t smoke, drink or gamble.”

DEAR ABBY, I have never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspect-ed for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with “the girls” a lot re-cently although when I ask their names, she always says, “just some friends from work, you don’t know them”. I try to stay awake and look out for her when she comes home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just did not want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to finally check on her. Around midnight, I hid in the garage behind my hockey equipment so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with the girls. When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my hockey gear, that I noticed a hairline crack where the blade meets the graphite shaft on my new one piece hockey stick. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro-shop where I bought it?

An Antartian woman visited a psychic of some local repute.

In a dark and hazy room, peer-ing into a crystal ball, the mystic

delivered grave news:“There’s no easy way to say this,

so I’ll just be blunt - prepare yourself to be a widow. Your

husband will die a violent and horrible death this year.”

Visibly shaken, the Antartian stared at the woman’s lined

face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to

compose herself.She simply had to know. She met the fortune teller’s gaze, stead-

ied her voice, and asked:“Will I be acquitted?”
