Lady Byng Memorial Trophy


This annual award is presented "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability." The winner is selected by a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association at the end of the regular season, with the winner getting $10,000 and the runners up $6,000 and $4,000. Generally, the winner of the Lady Byng Trophy has one of the lowest Penalty in Minutes total for the season. The trophy was originally presented to the NHL in 1925 by the wife of Canada's Governor-General, Lady Byng. When New York Ranger Frank Boucher won the award seven times in eight seasons he was given the original trophy to keep and Lady Byng donated a second one in 1936. After Lady Byng's death in 1949 the NHL presented a new trophy and changing the name to the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
