The Kansas City Scouts had a team from 1974 to 1976 where they relocated to Denver as the Colorado Rockies.
ChrisHOST
which the Colorado Rockies is the fourth franchise from 1976 to 82 that relocated to become the New Jersey Devils.
ChrisHOST
That just
Soren PetroHOST
I tried to kind of root for the Blues and the Devils.
Soren PetroHOST
You know why the Devils? Kansas City Scouts.
Soren PetroHOST
That's right.
Soren PetroHOST
Before they were the Devils, they were the Colorado Rockies.
Soren PetroHOST
Before they were the Colorado Rockies, they were the Kansas City Scouts.
Soren PetroHOST
And so I kind of tried, but then I was like, oh, day one.
Soren PetroHOST
Be a fan every, like, I have no other team that I could do that for, but I could be a fan every day of their existence.
Anthony PusikPANELIST
[laughs] I've been a fan since Colorado.

Don La GrecaHOST

BexHOST
[laughs] So the New Jersey Devils were established in 1974 as the Kansas City Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri.

Washington will visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden for their first game in league play, and Kansas City will play the Maple Leafs at Toronto, Canada.
Bob DelaneySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So another hockey season upon us, and this will be the biggest hockey season ever.
RayHOST
It was 74.
RayHOST
They were in an expansion draft alongside the Kansas City Scouts, which are no longer with us.
RayHOST
I
DougHOST
don't even remember them.
JohnHOST
But that's not true.
JohnHOST
If we're going by the date that the actor playing David Putty, Mr. Patrick Warburton, was born, that would be November 14th, 1964, and the Devils were originally formed as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974.
JohnHOST
Talk to me.
JohnHOST
And the Scouts moved to Denver in 76 and became the Colorado Rockies.
Adrian VilacaHOST
No worries.
Adrian VilacaHOST
I mean, Colorado's at that time there were, you know, forgotten, kind of like the Kansas City Scouts and a bunch of teams as expansion was adding teams and then teams would disappear, you know, the California Golden Seals.
Adrian VilacaHOST
And so no worries there.
Adrian VilacaHOST
