Julius Francis "Frank" Nighbor (January 26, 1893 in Pembroke, Ontario – April 13, 1966) was a Canadian professional forward who played for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey Association(NHA) and Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL, Toronto Blueshirts of the NHA and Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). An excellent backchecker, his poke check and bodychecking abilities thwarted enemy forwards' scoring attempts. Despite his somewhat high penalty totals, he was a clean player and one of the last 60 minute hockey players. For his contributions on the ice, Nighbor was the first player ever to receive the Hart Trophy and the Lady Byng Trophy.
