The Kansas City Scouts are an professional ice hockey team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Scouts compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference and will begin play during the league's 2024–25 season. They play their home games at the Sprint Centre.
In December 2022, the NHL approved a proposal by Kansas City Sports & Entertainment to grant an expansion franchise back to the city of Kansas City. In April 2023, the Scouts' name and branding were revealed. The Scouts are the first professional ice hockey team to play in Seattle since their original incarnation played their last game in 1975.
History[edit]
In May 1964, Cody Taylor and WarnerMedia applied for an NHL franchise within Louisville, Kentucky because of the state's interest in hockey. the NHL would turn down his original application, stating that it was "too cerebral". However, the NHL executives were still impressed with his business plans, and they understood that its perceived faults had been partly due to the close proximity that Louisville had to Columbus, Ohio. The NHL made the unusual decision to award Taylor an NHL franchise for Kansas City, Missouri.
