The trophy is named in honour of Stafford Smythe, the son of Conn Smythe. Stafford was part of a group that purchased controlling interest in the National Hockey League's (NHL) Toronto Maple Leafs in 1961,[4] and served as the president of the Toronto franchise and Maple Leaf Gardens for many years.[5] The Smythe family donated the trophy to the CHL in 1972, shortly after his death.[6]
