Montreal Canadiens player saves pilot after horrific plane crash

However, Byron can now be considered a hero after what occurred today. Byron joined into a rescue role after someone crashed their seaplane into the water in Lac des Sables in Notre-Dame-du-Laus in the Laurentians, as reported by RDS.

Byron was enjoying time on the water with his brother-in-law Neal Leblond, his father-in-law Jean Leblond and a family friend, Jonathan Legault, when they witnessed the plane crash literally just down the water by them.

According to the testimony of Neal Leblond:

Serge Labelle, who was also on scene was riding his skidoo on the lake and was the first to rescue the pilot, before Byron and Leblond would come and help rescue the pilot making sure he was alright.

Paul Byron confirmed to RDS the the incident but didn't consider himself a hero he just did the right thing. As for the pilot of the plane he's alive but was sent to hospital in serious conditions. If not for Byron and others this could of ended more tragically.
