Northeast Division (NHL)

The NHL's Northeast Division was formed in 1993 as part of the Eastern Conference in a league realignment, the predecessor of which was the Adams Division. Although none of its members have won the Stanley Cup since the realignment, its members account for a combined 42 Stanley Cup championships (24 by Montreal, 13 by Toronto, and 5 by Boston), which is the most championships of any division in the NHL.

The Northeast Division is the only Eastern Conference division that ever had Canadian teams before. However, all three Western Conference divisions ever had Canadian teams before (the only one currently is the Northwest Division while the other two, Pacific and Central, are the former).
