NHL's New Central Division Has Toughest Defensive Corps

December 27th, 2020 The new divisions for the 2020-21 NHL season will each feature their own “personality.” It’s easy to think of the North Division as “The Canadian Division,” but one could also call it the “Division of really long road trips.” The West Division might be called the “Division with only three good teams.” The East?
