ree | g THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 12, 1965 CAHA Opposed START IN '67? Adding Six Teams In NH By JOE DUPUIS MONTREAL (CP)--In the in- terest of progress, the rich, powerful National Hockey League has decided to exparid by taking in six new teams, creating a two-division setup that would bring big - time hockey to the thajor. east-west cities of the United States and Canada. The face-lifting won't take place right away, probably not until the 1966-67 season, if then. And nobody, not even the NHL, is sure it will pay off. "But you can't stop prog- ress,' said. league president Clarence Campbell. Campbell says the idea of adding six teams to the present six-team NHL setup, and oper- ating all 12 in two divisions playing an_ interlocking sched- ule, is a calculated gamble. The calibre of play is going to be lowered, he said, until enough players can be developed to bal- ance both divisions. \ "There is no shortage of|? hockey players but the question is whether or not the dilution of talent will be a disappointment to the public. We don't know." FOLLOWS MEETING League governors announced the -expansion proposal after ajsaid applications for the new division will be accepted from responsible groups representing major-league cities in Canada and the U.S. None has been re- five-hour meeting in New York Thursday.
