VANCOUVER, BUFFALO NEW NHL TEAMS?
It was reliably learned by the HOCKEY NEWS at press time that the National Hockey League had received only two applications at closing time for 1970-71 expansion of the league. Vancouver and Buffalo were reportedly the only teams to come forward and meet the NHL’s entry requirements for a new league franchise, which will cost $6,000,000 as compared to $2,000,000 which the six expansion teams paid in 1967-68. The NHL met in New York to officially accept Vancouver and Buffalo into the NHL and finalize realignment of the teams which will put Chicago in the Western Division next season.…

NHL Throws Book At Ferguson To Dissuade Stick Swinging
MONTREAL— The Montreal Canadiens are getting their lumps off the ice more than on these days. First it was John Ferguson, their hard-rock left winger, who experienced the full wrath of the National hockey League’s judical system by sustaining a six game suspension and now top defenseman Jacques Laperriere is in hot water with the NHL.
