Bester played with the Brantford Alexanders of the OHL for three seasons before moving on to professional hockey. He was drafted into the NHL by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the third round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft.
Bester spent parts of 11 seasons in the NHL, beginning in 1983–84. He spent eight years in Toronto, and then was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 1991. He spent most of his career moving between the NHL and AHL. In 1992, Bester won a Calder Cup with the Adirondack Red Wings. He was awarded the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as playoff MVP. Bester made a short return to the NHL after a four-year absence, playing ten games for the Dallas Stars in the mid nineties.
Bester ended his hockey career in the IHL. He played with both the San Diego Gulls and Orlando Solar Bears before officially announcing his retirement in August 1998.
During his early years with the Leafs, he was considered a teen heartthrob.
