The Denver Spurs began play in the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 1968 and moved to the Central Hockey League (CHL) in 1974 when the WHL folded. The Spurs had an agreement to become an NHL team for the 1976-77 season (along with the Seattle Totems), however the deal fell through when the National Hockey League (NHL) decided to hold off on expansion. Instead the team accepted a deal to join the World Hockey Association (WHA) for the 1975-76 season. The Spurs had poor attendance and rumors were the NHL would be moving another team to Denver to take the spot the Spurs would have had. The team moved to Ottawa to become the Civics, only to fold after a month. The following season, the NHL's Kansas City Scouts moved to Denver to become and the Colorado Rockies.
