Sprague is the reason there's a Lady Byng Trophy.

This is not about the men who exhibited the sort of decorum and restraint that behoved the Lady Byng Memorial Award. It is about the man whose on-ice play was so foul, so violent, so disturbing, that upon seeing this man play, Marie Evelyn Moreton, the Lady Byng, wife of the Viscount Byng of Vimy, Governor General of Canada, was so repulsed by his tactics that she was inspired to present a trophy to the NHL that would celebrate the very polar opposite behaviour.
Sprague Cleghorn.
