| At Dartmouth: Byrne enjoyed the most successful rookie campaign among members of the Class of 2001, tallying seven goals in 21 games played. He was awarded the Booma Award, given to the team's outstanding freshman. Byrne notched his first collegiate goal in the Big Green's opener at Army (10/31). He also potted goals against Clarkson (1/16) and St. Lawrence (1/17). Byrne registered his first two-goal game in an 8-1 victory against Union (2/20).
High School/Juniors: Byrne led the Deerfield Academy hockey team with 37 points (17g, 20a). Prior to Deerfield, Byrne attended Hingham High School. At Hingham, he was a two-time most valuable player and leading scorer, a two-time first team all-league selection and a two-time Boston Globe all-scholastic athlete. Personal: Michael lists his father as the most influential person in his hockey career and looks up to his cousin, Kevin Dineen, of the Carolina Hurricanes. Michael's favorite movie is Happy Gilmore, and he likes the sounds of Garth Brooks, the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers and Eric Lindros. Cornell's Lynah Rink is Michael's favorite because "of the great crowds and the ice surface is very much like Thompson." |
