The hockey world was heartbroken to learn of the death of a former Boston Bruins forward who tragically passed at 61-years-old on Saturday, and the team has now taken it into their hands to issue their own statement.
A true tragedy and loss of a legend, Lyndan Byers, who now leaves behind his wife and son far too soon.
"The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Lyndon Byers has passed away at the age of 61.
Lyndon was a second-round selection of the Boston Bruins in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft and played 261 career games for the Bruins from 1984 to 1992, endearing himself to the Bruins faithful with his hard-nosed style of play. He went on to play 18 games for the San Jose Sharks during the 1992-93 campaign."

Bruins issue heartfelt message on passing of Lyndon Byers
The Bruins took the tragedy into their own hands to honor their fan-favorited forward for nine seasons, issuing a statement on X (formerly Twitter):
"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."
