  • The New York Americans, in their final season were renamed the "Brooklyn Americans," in order to try and attract fans from Brooklyn. They continued to play in Madison Square Garden due to lack of a good sized playing facility in Brooklyn. Except for Hamilton, the league did eventually return to cities that were abandoned. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis gained teams in the 1967 NHL expansion, Quebec City returned though the NHL–WHA merger (though lost it again when the team moved to Denver in 1995), and Ottawa via expansion in 1992. New York City, after losing the Americans, has since added two more teams in the metro area: the New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. The closest Hamilton has come to receiving a team is the Buffalo Sabres, who play less than 50 miles east in Buffalo, New York; the presence of the Sabres has, so far, blocked efforts (most notably those by Jim Balsillie) to relocate a team to Hamilton. Though Montreal also lost the Wanderers, the city still had the Canadiens and thus did not totally lose NHL representation.
