Former Boston Bruins tough guy dies at 61

Former Boston Bruins tough guy Lyndon Byers has died at 61, the team announced on July 5.

The Bruins said he died on July 4, though they didn’t list a cause of death.

‘Lyndon was a fan favorite across his nine seasons in the Black & Gold thanks to his rugged, rough-and-tumble style,’ the team said in a statement.

Byers played for the Bruins from 1983-1992, racking up 959 penalty minutes, 11th in team history. He was part of the Bruins teams that went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1988 and 1990, playing a total of 28 games in those postseasons.

Byers’ best season was in 1987-88, when he had 10 goals, 24 points and 236 penalty minutes. He had another 62 penalty minutes in the playoffs.

According to hockeyfights.com, Byers had 92 career fights, including a total of 30 in the 1987-88 regular season and playoffs.

He also played for the San Jose Sharks in 1992-93 before finishing his professional hockey career with two seasons in the International Hockey League. He had 28 goals, 71 points and 1,081 penalty minutes in 279 NHL games.

After retiring, Byers spent about 25 years as a radio host for Boston’s WAAF. He also appeared in four episodes of the television show ‘Rescue Me’ and had small roles in ‘Shallow Hal,’ ‘Stuck on You’ and a few other movies.
