On August 15, 1991, Bryam and the Chicago Blackhawks agreed to a one-year deal.

Byram spent the next eight seasons playing professionally in Europe, spending time in Italy, Austria, and the UK, before returning to the United States in 2002 to play with the Bakersfield Condors of the WCHL. Byram scored 65 points in 68 games, second highest among Falcons players in 2002–03.[1][2]
