1977–78 Cleveland Barons season
Encyclopedia
The 1977–78 Cleveland Barons
season was the team's second and final season
in the NHL. The relocation to Cleveland had not cured the attendance problems that had plagued the franchise from its inception in Oakland as the Seals in 1967. In June 1978, with both the Barons and the Minnesota North Stars
on the verge of folding, the league approved an arrangement in which the two teams were permitted to merge under the ownership of Barons owner George Gund III. The merged franchise continued as the Minnesota North Stars
, but assumed the Barons old place in the Adams Division
. Fifteen seasons later, the North Stars relocated to their current home of Dallas
and became the Stars
, bringing the NHL to Texas
for the first time.
