Atlantic Division (NHL)
The Atlantic Division is a division of the North American Ice Hockey League National Hockey League belonging to the Eastern Conference . It comprises eight teams, as does the Metropolitan Division as its counterpart within the Eastern Conference.
The division of the conference into divisions is quite arbitrary. The Atlantic Division includes all teams in the Eastern Conference that are based north of New York (including all Canadian teams), as well as the teams from Florida . The Atlantic Division was founded after the league's expansion in 1993 as the successor to the Patrick Division . As part of the restructuring at the beginning of the 2013/14 season , the name "Atlantic Division" was transferred to the division previously known as the Northeast Division . The former Atlantic Division is now called the Metropolitan Division and, together with the Atlantic itself, forms the entire Eastern Conference. As a result, the field of participants has been completely new since the 2013/14 season.
