North Division (NHL)

The National Hockey League's North Division (branded as Scotia NHL North Division for sponsorship reasons) is one of the four divisions being used by the NHL for the 2020–21 NHL season. This division was organized in 2020 as the result of the travel restrictions that have been in place since March 2020 between the Canada–United States border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The entirety of the 2020–21 regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs will be played between these seven teams.
Of the four divisions set to play in 2020–21, the North Division is the only one with a name not previously used by the NHL. It is also the first all-Canadian NHL division to play since the league first expanded into the United States in 1924.
