NHL Hits Pause on Expansion—What’s Really Behind the Sudden Halt?
Of course, not all owners are wholly sold on the expansion dream. Some are riding the fence, reflecting on Vegas and Seattle’s recent arrivals, keen to see how the new blood impacts the league before jumping in. The bottom line? The NHL remains a 32-team showcase for now—but whispers of 34 or even 36 clubs persist, promising this expansion saga is far from over.
The NHL Board of Governors met on Tuesday, and the process regarding potential expansion remains ongoing. Summer reports suggested the NHL was leaning toward expansion and adding another team in Texas. Whether that was Houston or Austin remained to be seen. Expectations were that the NHL could announce something on Tuesday, September 22nd, or announce a vote at the December Board of Governors meetings.
