The Calgary Flames are in the midst of one of the best seasons in their franchise’s history. As a result, several of their top players are likely to be in consideration for major awards.

The award
The Lady Byng Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability. It’s named after Lady Byng of Vimy, 40th viceregal consort of Canada, who donated the original trophy to the league.
