Bobby Ryan (* 17th March 1987 in Cherry Hill , New Jersey as Robert Shane Stevenson ) is an American ice hockey player . The right winger has been under contract with the Ottawa Senators in the National Hockey League since July 2013 . Previously, he had spent almost six years with the Anaheim Ducks , which had selected him in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft in second overall position. With the US national team , Ryan won the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics .

Career

Bobby Ryan has been playing ice hockey since childhood ; first on public facilities in Philadelphia , later in various youth clubs. His father, Bob Stevenson, who owned an insurance company, seriously injured his wife Melody Stevenson in an alcohol-related act of violence in October 1997. Previously, Bobby Ryan had attended a Philadelphia Flyers ice hockey game with his father . Upon returning home, Bob met a few friends and had a few beers . He accused his wife of drug abuse , which she always denied.

The US judiciary brought charges against Bob Stevenson of attempted murder, after which he fled to El Segundo , Southern California to escape prosecution. His wife, however, stayed with her son and did not want to file a complaint against her husband. Later that year they both moved to Southern California, where Father Bob had legally been renamed Bob Ryan. So Bobby Stevenson also became Bobby Ryan. After Ryan, who was home-schooled, had played in the Los Angeles Kings junior program for several years , another family crisis came in 2000. In February of that year, several US marshals stormed the Ryan's home in Hermosa Beach and arrested the father. In the ensuing trial, he pleaded guilty to serious assault and was sentenced to four years in prison.

In the OHL Priority Selection 2003, Bobby Ryan was selected in the first round in seventh position by the Owen Sound Attack . From the 2003/04 season , Bobby Ryan played professional junior ice hockey in the Ontario Hockey League for the Owen Sound Attack, in which he wore the number 9 shirt. During this time, the potential and talent of Ryan became more and more apparent, so that in 2005 he was ultimately selected second by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft . In his four years with the Attack, Bobby Ryan scored 133 goals and gave another 192 assists for 325 points with 210 penalty minutes. He achieved all of this in 249 games. In the playoffs he scored nine goals and 17 assists for 26 points in a total of 30 games. In contrast, Ryan also had 26 penalty minutes to book.

After Ryan played 19 games for the Portland Pirates , the AHL partner team of the Mighty Ducks, in the playoffs in the 2005/06 season , in which he came up with a total of eight points - including one goal -, he was also in the following season temporarily used in the American Hockey League , where he posted three hits and six assists in eight games. In March 2006, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. As of the 2006/07 season , Bobby Ryan had a regular place in the Pirates' squad and scored 49 points, 21 hits and 28 templates in 48 games in the 2007/08 season . Also during this season Ryan was used for the first time at the Anaheim Ducks and came so to a total of 23 games in the NHL, in which he scored five hits and five assists. The right winger scored his first NHL goal on September 29, 2007 in the season opening game of the Ducks against the Los Angeles Kings in London for the interim 1: 3 (final score 1: 4). This made Ryan one of the few players to score directly in his first NHL encounter.

After the 2009/10 season , the striker's contract in Anaheim expired and Ryan became a restricted free agent . The Anaheim Ducks continued to hold his rights, as they had presented him with a qualification offer on June 28, 2010. On July 1, 2010, the first day he became a restricted free gamer, General Manager Bob Murray announced that the attacker had been offered a five-year contract with a salary of around five million US dollars a year. Ryan refused to sign it, however, and he also rejected an offer for four years with the same salary. Contract negotiations dragged on as Ryan insisted on playing in the front row with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, with the guarantee that the two would stay in Anaheim for a longer period of time. Regardless of the setbacks, General Manager Bob Murray was not deterred from his plan and insisted on a long-term contract with the American. However, he was initially only ready to conclude a short-term contract. Ryan stated that he did not want to leave the Ducks and named the disagreement about the term of the contract as the decisive factor, so that the negotiations dragged on for several months. He declined possible offers from other teams and informed his advisor that he would not accept them. Bob Murray reiterated that the Californians would not barter the striker.

In the event of a possible offer sheet , a kind of contract offer, Murray announced that he would draw level with any offers from an NHL team to keep Ryan in the Californian squad. It wasn't until September 14, 2010 that Ryan agreed on a five-year contract with the Californians. During that time, the American was promised a total salary of $ 25.5 million. His payroll was approximately $ 3.25 million for his first year of contract and $ 5,625,500 per year of contract for each of the following four seasons. In the summer of 2010, the Toronto Maple Leafs , among others, had expressed interest in engaging the attacker. They had already tried to find the attacker in September 2008 and tried to get him off to Toronto in a transfer business. He spent the lockout of the 2012/13 season at Mora IK in Allsvenskan, Sweden .

In July 2013 he was transferred to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Jakob Silfverberg , Stefan Noesen and a first-round right to vote in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft . There Ryan signed a new contract in October 2014, which should bring him an average annual salary of 7.25 million US dollars over the next seven seasons from the start of the 2015/16 season.

Ryan is considered a power forward because of his size and physical strength . His good scorer qualities and his diverse actions with the puck are particularly emphasized.
