This is actually a hand I played in the red ribbons. This ending occurred at our table.

Hearts is trump, south to play. When south leads a trump, LHO makes the mistake of discarding his remaining spade, and North discards a club, RHO being caught in a squeeze - if he discards a club, ace and another club will see declarer home, and if he discards a diamond, declarer can lead a club to the ace, ruff out the diamond ace, and then lead a small club from hand.

Any idea what this squeeze is called?

It's a steppingstone squeeze.

I was thinking it was some sort of variant of a winkle and trump squeeze, but wasn't sure.

I suppose it's a type of trump steppingstone squeeze, since instead of unblocking then throwing in you ruff then throw in. Not bad.
