He scored 40 points, with 10 goals and 30 assists.
Becoming a Professional Player
On March 12, 2010, Ryan signed his first professional contract. He joined the Chicago Blackhawks as an undrafted free agent. This means no team picked him in the draft, but the Blackhawks still wanted him.

On July 1, 2017, Ryan signed a two-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers. He was sent to their AHL team, the Bakersfield Condors, on October 31. He spent the rest of his contract playing for the Condors.
