Lady Byng Memorial Trophy

The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is presented annually to the player judged to have exhibited the best sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability in the National Hockey League. The winner is selected by a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers's Association following the conclusion of the regular season.

The trophy is named in honour of Lady Byng, wife of Viscount Byng of Vimy, Governor-General of Canada in 1925 when the trophy was first presented.
