The National Hockey League 's Northeast Division was formed in 1993 as part of the Eastern Conference in a league realignment. Its predecessor was the Adams Division . The Northeast Division lasted for 19 seasons (not including the cancelled 2004–05 season ) until the 2013 league realignment, when all five of its teams were placed into the new Atlantic Division .
Although none of its members won the Stanley Cup following the realignment until the Boston Bruins ' title in 2011, its members accounted for a combined 43 Stanley Cup championships (24 by Montreal, 13 by Toronto and 6 by Boston), which was the most championships of any division in the NHL prior to 2013. In 2012, the Boston Bruins became the first team to win consecutive division titles.
