Jim Pattison moved his Vancouver Blazers to Calgary's Stampede Corral in 1975, and Joe Crozier's first Cowboys team went 41-35-4 behind 44 goals from Danny Lawson and 42 from Ron Chipperfield, then beat the Quebec Nordiques in the playoffs. Harry Howell played the last season of his career there. Pattison folded the team in August 1977, after the NHL turned down a merger and with no new arena in sight.
