Kyle Wellwood is a gentleman

Kyle Wellwood has played 45 games this season and has not received a single penalty. In the NHL that is quite an accomplishment. If he had appeared in more games he would likely be a leading contender to win the Lady Bying Trophy awarded to the player who shows the best sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with performance in play. But Kyle has played this way for most of his hockey career. In 127 NHL games he has 14 penalty minutes. In 156 AHL games he has 26 minutes in penalties. In 244 OHL games he has just 42 minutes in penalties.
