 History
Lady Byng, wife of Canada's Governor-General at the time, presented the Lady Byng
Trophy in 1925. After Frank Boucher of New York Rangers won the award seven times in
eight seasons, he was given the trophy to keep and Lady Byng donated another trophy in
1936. When Lady Byng died in 1949, the National Hockey League presented a new
trophy, changing the name to the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
