Canadian Division (WHA)

The WHA's Canadian Division was formed in 1974. The division existed for two seasons until 1976.

In 1972, the WHA was formed with 12 teams, split into two divisions of six teams each, with the divisions being the East Division and the West Division. In 1974, the league created a third division, the Canadian Division, as all the clubs in this division were based out of Canada.
