Career

Mike Van Ryn began his career as a hockey player on the University of Michigan ice hockey team , for which he was active for a total of two years in the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 1997 to 1999 . During this time he was selected during the NHL Entry Draft 1998 in the first round as a total of 26th player by the New Jersey Devils . After another year for the university team, however, he played in the 1999/2000 season for Sarnia Sting from the Ontario Hockey League .

Since New Jersey had not brought him to sign the contract, he was hired as a free agent by the St. Louis Blues in the summer of 2000 , for whom he played in the National Hockey League until 2003 . In addition, in his three seasons in St. Louis he was also used for their farm team , the Worcester IceCats .

On March 11, 2003, Van Ryn was given in exchange for Valery Bure and a five-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft 2004 to the Florida Panthers , for which he played the following five years. By the end of the 2002/03 season, however, he was exclusively for Florida's then farm team , the San Antonio Rampage , in the American Hockey League on the ice. He paused during the lockout in the 2004/05 NHL season .

On September 2, 2008, the Canadian was given in exchange for Bryan McCabe and a four-round vote in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft from the Panthers to the Toronto Maple Leafs . In the 2008/09 season he came to 27 missions for the Maple Leafs, but renewed injury problems put him out of action for a long time and Van Ryn remained in the following season without a use in the NHL. In July 2010 he declared his playing career over.

In the 2010/11 season , Van Ryn was an assistant coach at the Niagara IceDogs in the OHL. For the 2011/12 season he was committed by the Houston Eros in the same position. In 2013 he moved to the Kitchener Rangers in the Ontario Hockey League, where he was assistant coach for two years and head coach for one year. The Arizona Coyotes then hired him for their coaching team, where he finally took over the position of head coach for their AHL farm team, the Tucson Roadrunners, in July 2017 . After just one season, however, he returned to his previous employer and was introduced as the new assistant coach at the St. Louis Blues, where he succeeded Darryl Sydor .

International

Van Ryn represented his home country at the U20 World Junior Championships in 1998 and 1999 . In the two tournaments he played a total of 14 games and posted one assist. At the U20 Junior World Championship in 1999 he lost in the final with Canada against Russia and won the silver medal.
