From the 1967–68 season through the <a href="/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_NHL_season" title="1973–74 NHL season">1973–74 season</a>, the NHL was made up of two divisions (as opposed to conferences), the <a href="/wiki/East_Division_(NHL)" title="East Division (NHL)">East Division</a> and the <a href="/wiki/West_Division_(NHL)" title="West Division (NHL)">West Division</a>. </p><p>Following the 1973–74 season, the NHL again realigned. The East and West Divisions were renamed the <a href="/wiki/Edward_VIII_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward VIII of the United Kingdom">Prince of Wales</a> and <a href="/wiki/Clarence_Campbell" title="Clarence Campbell">Clarence Campbell</a> Conferences, respectively. At the time, the new conferences and divisions had little to do with North American geography and geographical references were removed. Furthermore, all playoff teams were seeded regardless of conference. </p><p>Beginning in the <a href="/wiki/1981%E2%80%9382_NHL_season" title="1981–82 NHL season">1981–82 season</a>, the conferences and the playoffs were realigned. The NHL was hoping to reduce travel costs in the face of a struggling economy and high energy prices. The regular season and playoffs were also altered to emphasize divisional match-ups. Thus, the first official conference finals were held in 1982. </p><p>Beginning in the <a href="/wiki/1993%E2%80%9394_NHL_season" title="1993–94 NHL season">1993–94 season</a>, the names of conferences and divisions were changed to reflect their geographic locations. At the instigation of then-new <a href="/wiki/NHL_commissioner" title="NHL commissioner">NHL commissioner</a> <a href="/wiki/Gary_Bettman" title="Gary Bettman">Gary Bettman</a>, the NHL made the change to help non-hockey fans better understand the game, as the <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">National Basketball Association</a> uses geographic-based names for their conferences and divisions, and the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> use geographic-based names for their divisions. Therefore, the Campbell Conference became the Western Conference and the Wales Conference became the Eastern Conference. The winner of the Eastern Conference finals still receives the <a href="/wiki/Prince_of_Wales_Trophy" title="Prince of Wales Trophy">Prince of Wales Trophy</a>, while the winner of the Western Conference finals still receives the <a href="/wiki/Clarence_S._Campbell_Bowl" title="Clarence S.
