Boynton played for the Boston Bruins prior to joining the Phoenix Coyotes. He was drafted in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by Boston (He was originally drafted by the Washington Capitals in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft). Shortly before his first training camp, he was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes but the disease has not affected his ability to play hockey.[1]
