Former Boston Bruins enforcer Lyndon “LB” Byers has died at the age of 61, the team announced on Saturday. The Bruins said Byers passed away on July 4 but did not disclose a cause of death, adding that he “was a fan favorite across his nine seasons in Black & Gold.” Selected 39th overall in the 1982 NHL draft, the Nipawin, Saskatchewan, native played for Boston from 1983 to 1992 before finishing his National Hockey League career with the San Jose Sharks in 1992-93. Byers appeared in 379 regular-season games, scoring 28 goals and recording 71 points, while amassing more than 1,000 penalty minutes—including 959 with the Bruins, 11th-most in franchise history. His rugged style helped Boston reach the Stanley Cup Final in 1988 and 1990. After retiring from hockey, Byers became a fixture on Boston’s airwaves, spending roughly 25 years as a co-host of the WAAF “Hill-Man Morning Show” and making occasional appearances in film and television. He is survived by his wife, Annie, and their son, Will; the family said details of a memorial service will be announced later.
