Season 18 Lady Byng Trophy

Today we are going to find out which player is considered to be the most gentlemanly and showed the best sportsmanship in the RSHL this year. The Lady Byng award has always been one that is for someone who play at a high standard while still showing respect for his fellow players.

For this award this year, three players stood out as those that showed these traits and attributes. They are Austin Matthews of the Islanders, Zach Werenski of the Oilers and Ryan Ellis of the Maple Leafs.

All three of these gentlemen are very worthy of this award.

Matthews, who played in 81 games and finished 5th in league scoring, only sat in the sin bin for a total of 8mins this year.

Werenski was the number one dman for the Oilers and even more impressive than Austin, he received only 4 penalty minutes on the season.

Finally, Ryan Ellis. Another great player and person to deal with as a reporter. For the season he played in 74 games while only getting 12 minutes in penalties.

All three of these players are very deserving of the award but unfortunately one of them can be the winner. And the winner of season 18 Lady Byng trophy is... Austin Matthews. Austin received 50% of the votes. Congrats on being named the best sportsman in the RSHL.
