Watching Hockey together was a Saturday night staple in the Byron household. Father and son sat in front of the TV, tuned in to catch the evening’s hockey action and talked about the game they loved.

“My fondest memory of watching hockey with my dad was Coach’s Corner with Don Cherry,” recalled Byron. “Hockey Night in Canada was like religion in my family and we couldn’t wait to listen to what Don had to say.”

Byron’s father constantly emphasised the significance of participating in various sports throughout the summer, thus he grew up playing baseball, soccer and lacrosse.

Paul Byron was selected by the Sabres in the sixth round, 179th overall, of the 2007 NHL Entry draft.  He made his NHL debut with the Sabres in 2011 before being traded to the Flames.
