Rogie Vachon won two Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2016. With the expansion of the NHL in 1967, and the creation of the West Division, the Prince Of Wales Trophy was given to the team that finished in first place in the East Division, during the regular season. Vachon and the Habs went on to win the Cup in 1968.  The front plate is engraved reading “H.R.H. PRINCE of WALES TROPHY ROGATIEN VACHON” and the back plate reads “N.H.L.
