Former Boston Bruins forward Lyndon Byers has passed away at 61 years old, the Original Six club announced on July 5.
The Bruins released a statement on Byers' passing through a post on their official X account:
"The Boston Bruins are deeply saddened by the passing of Lyndon Byers. Lyndon was a fan favorite across his nine seasons in the Black & Gold, thanks to his rugged, rough-and-tumble style, and was a key cog on the B’s teams that made trips to the Stanley Cup final in 1988 and 1990.
Following his playing career, Lyndon spent some 25 years as a local radio personality, entertaining scores of New Englanders every day with his quick wit and boisterous voice.
A son of Nipawin, Saskatchewan, Lyndon became a true Bostonian, and we will miss him dearly. He is forever a part of our Bruins family.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Annie, and son, Will, during this very difficult time."
Byers was selected by the Bruins with the 39th overall pick of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. He played nine NHL seasons with the Bruins from 1983-84 to 1991-92, where he posted 24 goals, 42 assists, 66 points, and 959 penalty minutes. He also recorded two goals, four points, and 96 penalty minutes in 37 playoff games with the Bruins.
