Zachary Jason Boyer (born October 25, 1971) is a Canadian former National Hockey League right winger. He played 3 games in the National Hockey League with the Dallas Stars during the 1994–95 and 1995–96 seasons.

Playing career

In the final game of the 1992 Memorial Cup, Boyer scored the championship-winning goal for the Kamloops Blazers with 14 seconds remaining in the third period.[1] The assist came from a young Scott Niedermayer, now a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.[1]

Drafted by the Blackhawks, Boyer spent two seasons with the Dallas Stars with time split with the IHL Blazers, Indianapolis Ice, Michigan K-Wings, Orlando Solar Bears and Houston Aeros. He played for seven different teams in his hockey career. Boyer played in Europe (SC Herisau, EC Villacher SV, Düsseldorfer EG), but ended his playing career with the Colorado Gold Kings and Orlando Seals.
