The Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, or the Campbell Trophy, is a National Hockey League trophy awarded to the Western Conference playoff champions. It is named after Clarence S. Campbell, the president of the NHL from 1946 to 1977. The Edmonton Oilers and the Philadelphia Flyers have won the trophy six times each, followed by the Chicago Blackhawks with four wins. The trophy itself is constructed of sterling silver, crafted in 1868.
History
The Campbell Trophy was donated by the NHL's clubs in recognition of the contributions and services of its president at the start of the Modern Era expansion. It was designed to be a parallel to the Prince of Wales Trophy from its outset, being awarded to the first-place finisher in the Western Division during the regular season from its inception in the 1967-68 season through the 1973-74 season. From the 1974-75 through the 1980-81 season, it was given to the team with the best regular-season record in the Campbell Conference, and from the 1981-82 season through the 1992-93 season, the Campbell Conference playoff champions. The Campbell Trophy has had its present role since the 1993-94 season, when the Campbell Conference became the Western Conference.
