George W. Lyle
Inducted October 30, 1993

When opponents saw George Lyle, class of 1976, coming down the wing, it was time to get out of the way or pick yourself up off the ice.

Lyle set single-season scoring records during his junior and senior years and played during one of the most successful eras of Huskies hockey ever.

In his three season with the team, MTU took two WCHA titles, one NCAA championship, and finished as th NCAA runner-up twice.

Lyle continues to share the single-season record for goals (47) with his linemate Mike Zuke, and is still third on the career goal-scoring list for the Huskies. During his senior season (1975-76), he was team captain, earned All-America honors, and was an All-WCHA selection.

Lyle went on to play seven years in the Harford Whalers and Detroit Red Wings systems and was "rookie of the year" for the Whalers (then of the WHA) in 1977.

Since 1983, he has built a financial consultant and management career with Smith Barney Shearson and is currently a vice president and branch manager.
