“I want to start off by staying I am extremely excited and blessed to be given a shot by [Thunder head] coach [Kevin] McClelland and look forward to starting my pro career in Wichita,” said Boyle. “I couldn't be more excited to be with the Thunder and look forward to a great year with a great organization.”

Boyle spent last season with Endicott College, which competed at the club level. He had three goals and eight assists in 18 contests with the Gulls. Before that, Boyle spent a year with the U.S Premier Hockey League's South Shore Kings. His lone season with Union was 2012-13, when he chipped in two assists in 15 games.

The 22-year-old was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the fourth round (106th overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft. He is the younger brother of Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brian Boyle.
