Ryan's Bio

I've been an avid NHLer since the Red Wings first Cup run in 1995. Before then, I watched, but only Wayne Gretzky with LA.

I've played hockey my entire life, from Mites thru college and am now a referee for USA Hockey, the Michigan High School Athletic Association, and the American Collegiate Hockey League. I enjoy golfing and playing summer sports when not on the ice.

I graduated Grand Valley State University in 2008 with my degree in Criminal Justice and am currently getting ready to go through a police academy here in Michigan. My favorite show is The Office and more specifically, I like the character Dwight Schrute.

  1. Hey! Check out my article! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/53942-patrick-ewing-jrs-basketball-skills-may-not-be-tested-but-his-penmanship-will

    Take care!

  2. You need massive props for the Dwight picture man. I like it.

  3. thank you for the add :)

  4. I gave up. It's awful. Guess Theodore only had one elite performance in him. All the injuries aren't helping either.

  5. Me too. I'm a hockey historian (obviously), and I can't stand it. It's a slap in the face of their team history.

  6. Thanks for starting the facebook group. The petition looks like it's finally starting to take off!

  7. Actually I only really hate them when they play the Leafs. Aside from that I'm pretty (I guess you could say) uncommitted on them. They are a good team (better than I give them credit for in public anyhow), I guess I'm just a little jealous at all the recent success you guys are having there in Michigan.

    The ironic thing, is that although I'm a Leafs fan, I have this strange ability to turn it off and write unbiased views of the Sens, Habs, and Wings when I choose to. It's really strange. I choose not to question it.

    Personal padding aside, again welcome to the team and I look forward to hearing more from you Ryan!
