Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood was chosen in 1872, no doubt to please mother England. Canada did not have as much say back then.

As was the case for Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley in 1888. Though Stanley gave us a nice Cup we have since given it to the USA. He also named a Park in Vancouver, which is somehow still in Canada, though it too is now defended by the USA.
