Ryan and the Admirals began their relationship back in 2000, when he was an intern with their communications department. Since then, he has remained with the club as an in-game statistician, completing face-off and shot charts for the coaches. He has been one of the in-game hosts for the last two seasons, and regularly skates/loses in the Merkt's Cheese races. Ryan can be heard on FM 102/1, WLUM, where he hosts the Indie Soundcheck program.
