The Spurs became the first professional sports team in Colorado to win a championship in 1971 72. After the WHL folded in 1974, the team transferred to the Central Hockey League for the 1974 75 season. In June, 1974, Ivan Mullenix, owner of the CHL Spurs, was awarded a "conditional" Denver NHL franchise for the 1976-77 season. With the McNichols Sports Arena already complete by 1975, he looked to enter the NHL a year early, and the league attempted to broker an arrangement by which Mullenix would acquire the California Golden Seals (then under league ownership) and move them to Denver in lieu of an expansion team. At the same time, the bankrupt Pittsburgh Penguins would be sold to a Seattle group who held the other conditional franchise that had been awarded.
