The National Hockey League's North Division (branded as Scotia NHL North Division for sponsorship reasons)[1] was one of the four divisions used by the NHL for the 2020–21 NHL season.[2] 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.[3][4][5] The entirety of the 2020–21 regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs were played between seven Canadian-based teams in the NHL.[6]
