By 1979 it had 21 teams, and today it has 31.
Some of the teams that no longer exist are the Oakland Seals, Minnesota North Stars (now the Dallas Stars), Winnipeg Jets (now the Arizona Coyotes), Kansas City Scouts (which became the Colorado Rockies and are now the New Jersey Devils), Hartford Whalers (now the Carolina Hurricanes), Quebec Nordiques (now the Colorado Avalanche) and Atlanta Thrashers (now the current Winnipeg Jets).
Today they play 82 games a year, plus four rounds of playoffs.
The players make a lot of money (many make over a million dollars a year).
Because they could make so much money, many Europeans came over to North America to play in the NHL.
Today almost all the world's best hockey players are in the NHL.

Isaac Asimov ( – April 6, 1992) was a  writer of science fiction.
He was also a biochemist with a PhD from Columbia University.
Asimov was born in Petrovichi, Smolensk Oblast, Russian SFSR to a Jewish family, on an unknown date between October 4, 1919 and January 2, 1920.
Asimov celebrated his birthday on January 2.
He was taken to the United States when he was three, and learned English and Yiddish as his native languages.
People know about Isaac Asimov because of his science fiction books and his science books for non-scientists.
Asimov's most famous books were the Foundation series.
He also wrote the Galactic Empire and the Robot Series.
He also wrote mystery, fantasy, and non-fiction books.
He wrote or edited over 500 books and about 90,000 letters.
Other subjects he wrote about were history, the Bible, literature, and sexuality.
Many of Asimov's early writings were short stories published in cheap science fiction and fantasy magazines.
Years later, most of them were collected and republished as collections.
Well-known collections include I, Robot, The Rest of the Robots, Earth is Room Enough and The Early Asimov.

Asimov's novels have influenced science fiction on television and movie.
Especially his 'Three Laws of Robotics' is a lasting contribution to our thinking.
A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
"I am an atheist, out and out.
It took me quite a long time to say it.
I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow ... it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic".
When he had heart surgery in 1983, he received blood infected with HIV.
He developed AIDS, and died of the effects of the medical condition in 1992.
His widow did not speak of this until years later.
