Ryan Spooner (born January 30, 1992 in Ottawa , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with HK Dinamo Minsk in the Continental Hockey League since October 2019 and plays there on the position of the center .

Career

Spooner began his career in the 2008/09 season with the Peterborough Petes in the Ontario Hockey League and was able to achieve a total of 58 scorer points in his first season. Following the 2009/10 season, he won the William Hanley Trophy as the fairest athlete in the league. In November 2010 he moved to league rivals Kingston Frontenacs , for which he was then on the ice for a year and a half. At the beginning of 2012, the Canadian was again transferred within the league to the Sarnia Sting and ran there until the end of the 2011/12 season.

After Spooner had already received an entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins from the National Hockey League in July 2011 , he was permanently taken over into the organization in April 2012 . In the 2012/13 season, the attacker was mostly used by the Providence Bruins farm team in the American Hockey League (AHL) before he was called up for the first time in the NHL squad in February 2013 and made his debut in the highest in the game against the Montreal Canadiens League of North America, whereupon three more games followed by the end of the season. In the following year he was able to recommend himself more often for the NHL squad and has already completed 23 games, with him getting eleven assists. In February 2015, Spooner scored his first goal in the NHL in the game against the New Jersey Devils , with the goal in overtime helping his team to a 3-2 win. He finished the 2014/15 season with eight goals and ten assists from 29 games for the Boston Bruins. In the summer of 2015 he received a two-year contract extension and since the beginning of the 2015/16 season , the left-shooter has been an integral part of the NHL squad in Boston.

After almost six and a half years in the organization of the Bruins, Spooner was given a first-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and a seventh-round vote in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft to the New York Rangers shortly before the trade deadline, including Matt Beleskey , Ryan Lindgren submitted. In return, Rick Nash moved to Boston, with both parties taking over the respective salaries of Nash and Beleskey to 50 percent. Spooner's time in New York was short-lived, however. With the Rangers, the striker was able to draw attention to himself with 16 points from 20 games at the end of the 2017/18 season , but after only two scorer points in the first quarter of the following game year, the Rangers separated again after nine months him. In exchange for Ryan Strome , he was transferred to the Edmonton Oilers . There Spooner even lost his regular place in the NHL squad and was temporarily used in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors before the Oilers handed him over to the Vancouver Canucks in February 2019 and Sam Gagner received in return . At the Canucks, he ended the season before the franchise paid him his remaining contract year in June 2019 (buy-out) . A month later he joined HC Lugano from the Swiss National League .
