I stand corrected - the NHL has lost businesses several times after I went back and checked it out. 1978 was the last time, prior to that was 1938 when the original 10 (1926-27) finally shrank to the 'Original 6'. However, after the contraction in 1978, the league expanded by 4 the very next year when the WHA folded.
