  The National Hockey League was started in Canada in 1917, but started letting teams based in the U.S. join in the 1920's. It's always been all about money.

  The HELL it is. You've quite clearly never spent so much as one second in Toronto.
  

Answer 9

It was all about money. Getting the big country of Canada watching the NBA brought in a bunch of cash.

I was totally against it. I still don't like them being in the NBA...I mean, think about it. A whole different country beat USA. and took home the championship
