Lady Byng Memorial Trophy awarded to Cole Caufield

sportsJun 5, 202622451

Cole Caufield won the 2025-26 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, the NHL award for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct, as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki surprised Caufield with the trophy in the team's locker room before a playoff game while Suzuki himself received the Frank J. Selke Trophy. Caufield's award caps a 2025-26 season in which he scored 50 goals, becoming Montreal's first 50-goal scorer in 36 years. The honor underscores that Caufield pairs elite scoring with on-ice sportsmanship and boosts Montreal's profile as the team heads into the postseason.

This is so awesome. Habs asked Suzuki to surprise Caufield with the Lady Bing while asking Caufield to surprise Suzuki with the Frank Selke award. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bso6...

Nice touch for sure… and couldn’t be more fitting that they both win one at the same time, 100 pts don’t happen without 50 goals & vice versa :)

After passing up strong Canadiens candidates for the Jack Adams, Jim Gregory and Norris trophies, the voters award Suzuki the Selke and Caufield the Lady Byng. But Hutson should have been no worse than third in the Norris voting, St. Louis second in the Jack Adams and Kent Hughes a lock as best GM.
