Western Division (NHL)
The Western Division was next to the Eastern Division one of two divisions in the North American professional ice hockey league NHL .
With the expansion of the league in 1967 and the subsequent reform of the league system, it was decided to split the NHL into two divisions. After a renewed increase in the league in 1974 , the two-division system was abolished and two conferences with two subordinate divisions were introduced with the Campbell and Prince of Wales Conference .
The division's name was derived from the geographical location of the teams that played in it, i.e. This means that the teams that were based in western North America played in the Western Division.
