North Division (NHL)


The National Hockey League's North Division was one of the four divisions used by the NHL for the 2020–21 NHL season. This division was organized in 2020 as the result of the travel restrictions that had been in place since March 2020 between the Canada–United States border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With non-essential travel across the border still largely banned at the start of the season, the league had its seven Canadian teams play the entirety of the 2020–21 regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs against each other.
Of the four divisions in 2020–21, the North Division was the only one with a name not previously used by the NHL. It was also the first all-Canadian NHL division to play since the league first expanded into the United States in 1924.
