Lannon attended Harvard University after graduating from high school and played from 2001 to 2005 in the ECAC , a division in the gaming operations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association . After his first year Ryan was selected in the eighth round in the eighth round of the NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins from the National Hockey League , following his teammate at Harvard and childhood friend Noah Welch , who had also drafted by the Penguins the year before had been. During his college career, Lannon posted 38 scorer points , including four goals. He only missed two games and won the ECAC with the Harvard Crimson in 2002 and 2004.

He was in his last season at Crimson from the online portal US Hockey Online for "Unsung Hero" (Breastfeeding hero) selected. He was also elected to the Second All Ivy team. On August 3, 2005, Lannon signed - at the same time as Noah Welch - a two-year entry - level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins .

Time in the AHL

Lannon was sent to the American Hockey League for the entire duration of his entry contract with the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins , where he reached the Calder Cup playoffs every season with the "Baby Pens" . He then extended his contract with the Penguins on July 27, 2007 for one year. In the 2007/08 season he was appointed to the NHL team. He did not come to his NHL debut despite two weeks of traveling, after which he was sent back to the farm team . In 75 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre / Scranton, he scored three goals and scored a total of 13 points. This contributed seven points during the playoffs and failed with his team only in the final at the Chicago Wolves .

After three years with the Penguins, he signed a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes as a free agent on July 15, 2008 , but had to spend the season again with the farm team, the San Antonio Rampage . On October 16, 2008 he was called up to the Coyotes, but missed again to make his debut in the NHL. In the farm team, he spent the rest of the game year, where he managed only five assists in 63 games. Even so, he was voted Rampage Player of the Year at the end of the season. He also received a nomination for the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award .

On July 23, 2009, Lannon signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Wild , he was then deported to the Houston Eros in the AHL for the 2009/10 season . However, shortly after his 300th AHL game, he injured himself. As a result, he came to only 27 appearances this season, scoring one goal and one assist.

Jump to Europe

After the end of the season, Lannon was invited by the Philadelphia Flyers to the preparatory camp before the 2010/11 season , but could not fight for a contract. On December 4, 2010, he signed a trial contract with the Lake Erie Monsters . After seven games he was passed on to the Worcester Sharks . But even for the Sharks he only played four games on trial before he moved to Europe in the Finnish SM-liiga to KalPa Kuopio for the first time in his career . After the end of the season, he decided to extend the contract by one year.

On September 20, 2012 he was transferred to the Graz 99ers in the Austrian Ice Hockey League . He spent the 2012/13 season there , scoring seven assists in 49 games. Despite the opportunity to return to KalPa, Lannon decided to end his career in the summer of 2013 at the age of 30 due to a back injury that was delayed.

Surprising comeback

He started the season with the Railers for four games before being released from his contract on November 11, 2017.
