The Tampa Bay Lightning just got more aerodynamic, and it was all for a good cause.

Many Lightning players and staff members participated in the team's Cut for a Cure event after Saturday's game, trimming their long locks to benefit cancer research.

The event was run by the
National Pediatric Cancer Foundation
, an organization that focuses on less toxic and more targeted treatmens for pediatric cancer.

Soon enough, it was Boyle's turn in the barber's chair, getting his dark locks trimmed by 15-year-old cancer survivor Tony Colton.
