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 cheers for Eric Lindros and the Philadelphia Flyers. Michael's favorite movie is Good Will Hunting, and he likes the sounds of the Dave Matthews Band. |
