An exceptionally gifted defenceman who knows his strengths and plays by them. He possesses elite skating ability and is at his best when playing high energy, up-tempo hockey. He handles the puck well and is able to keep control of it under pressure. He makes calculated decisions that consistently shift momentum in his team's favor. His creativity in the offensive zone speaks to his confidence in his ability to be a game-changer.
Defensively astute, he actively takes away lanes and limits options for the oncoming opposition. All-in-all, Bowen Byram is a workhorse who understands how to take advantage of turnovers and shift the pace of play in his favor in all three zones. (Curtis Joe, EP 2019)

Father: Shawn Byram
He’s an excellent skater, with good balance, explosiveness and a high-end top-gear.
— EPrinkside.com 2019
Byram does a good job of holding the blue line, and he uses an active stick to interrupt passing lanes and disrupt oncoming puck-carriers
— EPrinkside.com 2019
The best aspect of his hockey-sense is his ability to rapidly process the play. This extends to all three-zones
— Hockeyprospect.com 2019
Possessing excellent vision, creativity and awareness, he’s a highly-precise passer
— Future Considerations 2019
He is a near elite passer from the blueline, just as comfortable with a short pass as with a stretch pass, or flip pass
