When Ryan was recruited to play for the Seattle Ravens it snuck up on me how good this competition is for a sixteen yearold. He has a serious back injury which makes it scary. He is limited to thirty minutes practice a day. He has alway played on teams where he is the youngest by a year. So I looked into the Ravens. I look back to when he first started skating. Alway on his team was a star. But it never looked like he did not belong. He is now a step higher than the stars.
Half the team have not shown up yet. They come from Idaho, California, Canada all up and the west coast the best young players.
Not as good but a step below the Seattle T-birds above triple "AAA" level hockey. The up and comers. He had come a long way from at eight years old and learning to skate.The program states that these kids were picked on a level above other Hockey players. Must maintain good grades as well as hockey skills. They are the good kids not always given credit and do public service. Semi-pro, each year he plays he gets one year college tuition./dandy
