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.

Fun guy in room, around media, etc. Made most of his goods. Ever willing to battle. Always smiling.
