The National Hockey League's Pacific Division was formed in 1993 as part of the Western Conference in a league realignment. It is also one of the two successors of the Smythe Division (the other one was the Northwest Division), though of the current teams, only the Anaheim Ducks did not play in the Smythe Division (the Phoenix Coyotes played in the Smythe as the original Winnipeg Jets). Due to subsequent realignments, three of the Pacific Division's original teams (the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks) left the division in 1998 but returned in 2013. The division is currently the only one in the NHL without any Original Six teams.
Four Stanley Cup winners have come from the Pacific Division: the Colorado Avalanche in 1996, the Dallas Stars in 1999, the Anaheim Ducks in 2007, and the Los Angeles Kings in 2012.
