		The Western Hockey League was a minor pro ice hockey league that operated from 1952 to 1974.
		During the 1960's, the WHL moved into large west coast markets like Los Angeles and San Francisco, and it was fear that the WHL would become a rival major league that finally convinced the National Hockey League to expand for the 1967-68 season.
		A diluted talent pool, and the move of the NHL and World Hockey Association into many of its traditional markets forced the league to cease operations after the 1973-74 season.
