zoneranger Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 We have a winner! Good eye Scooter!Although he was a consummate team player, Nighbor received a number of significant individual accolades during his career in Ottawa. Following the 1922-23 season, he became the first-ever winner of the Hart Trophy as the most valuable player in the NHL. Two years later he was invited to Rideau Hall by avid fan Lady Byng, the wife of Canada's Governor General. Nighbor didn't know it, but she'd had a new trophy made to be given to the most gentlemanly player in the league. He was even more surprised to find that it was Lady Byng's intention to inaugurate the new trophy by presenting it to him, based on his performance in the 1924-25 season. Nighbor repeated as the Lady Byng winner in 1925-26.Check out Frank's duds in this pic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
