WHA – The Teams

26. teams played in the WHA from ’72 to ’79, some for less than a single full season.. But only 6 clubs were left skating when the league merged with the NHL, after the Racers folded in mid-season. And although Birmingham and Cincinnati didn’t make the cut, New England, Winnipeg, Quebec and Edmonton joined the rival league for play for the ’79-’80 season.
