Lyndon Byers’ Family Reveals CTE Battle After His Death

Lyndon Byers was never subtle on or off the ice, and the Bruins enforcer became a fan favorite for exactly that reason. Now his family has revealed that he suffered from CTE, adding a grim layer to a story that already carries plenty of weight in Boston. Byers also built a second life as a longtime co-host on WAAF’s "The Hill-Man Morning Show," which made him part hockey hardman, part local radio fixture.
