[edit] Team History

The National Hockey League returned to the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the 1967-68 season. The Pittsburgh Penguins were one of six new expansion teams granted for that season. The 1967 NHL expansion doubled the size of the league from 6 teams to 12 teams. The NHL previously had a club named the Pirates in the city from 1925 to 1930.
