Lyndon Byers passed away at age 61, leaving a significant void in the Bruins community. His wife announced the news, sharing the family's need for space during this time. Byers was part of the Bruins team that ended a long-standing rivalry by defeating the Canadiens in the playoffs and made two Stanley Cup Finals. He is remembered for his tough playing style and amassed numerous penalty minutes throughout his NHL career. The Bruins organization and former teammates recognized his contributions and the affection fans had for him.
LB was a fan favorite across his nine seasons in the Black and 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.
Please know (or as LB would have said 'not for nothing') we recognize how many people loved and cared for him and considered him a friend.
He dropped the gloves with any and all comers, much to the delight of fans and teammates.
A high-scoring forward in junior hockey, he was drafted in the second round by the Bruins in 1982.
