To be fair, the Norris Division was named after James
E. Norris, who, as far as I know, was not involved with organized crime. However, he was the architect of the whole ‘Norris House League’ setup, by which the Norris family directly or indirectly controlled all four of the NHL’s American franchises, so I can’t exactly say his hands were clean, either.
