National Hockey League. But actually they're at least the 36th
team to join and I've probably missed some.

If the following is correct:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_organizational_changes_in_the_NHL#Timeline

then they're the 38th team to join. The 7 that are no longer around are:

* Montreal Maroons
* Montreal Wanderers
* New York (later Brooklyn) Americans
* Oakland Seals (sometimes California Golden Seals, later Cleveland Barons)
* original Ottawa Senators (later St. Louis Eagles)
* Pittsburgh Pirates (later Philadelphia Quakers)
* Quebec City (later Hamilton Tigers)

I actually listed 6 of those from memory, but then miscounted; and
I thought the Pittsburgh Pirates were the same team that originally
played in Quebec City. Hence my guess of 36.

As Mark pointed out the wording could have been clearer, but they joined 30 extant teams so were 31st in that sense
