When most people look at Brian Boyle they see a 6'7" 230 pound frame and nothing else. Boyle is much more than just size; he has speed, quick hands, and intelligence on the ice.
These attributes have led him to high numbers (31-31-62) which has got him recognition as an All-AHL rookie first team player, and an 8 game stint with the Kings netting 4 goals and 1 assist.
Boyle is even larger than good numbers. Recently the Monarchs have named him an Assistant captain because of his demeanor both on and off the ice.
On the ice, Boyle is a fan favorite because of his efforts to defend his goalies; simply taking his large wingspan and carrying 2-3 players out of the crease by himself. He plays the role of intimidator in scrums, looking downward on all but 2 AHL opponents, and forcing them out of the scrums.
