You probably won't find another player in the NHL who's experienced anything close to what Bobby Ryan has been through. The former 2nd overall draft pick in 2005 is a success story no matter how you look at it. Ryan's career shouldn't be measured based on how many points he puts up or how many goals he scores. None of that even matters. Ryan lived on the lam for several years of his childhood, the authorities were looking for his dad who was wanted following a very serious domestic violence incident with his mother. They changed their last name, hid in Canada, then California where Federal Marshals eventually tracked the family down, breaking down the front door with guns drawn. While his father served time in prison, Ryan used hockey as his escape. His career took off and eventually landed him in the Ontario Hockey League and the NHL. Today Ryan is a success story on and off the ice. He entered alcohol rehab during the 2019-2020 season only to score a hat trick in his second game back. He's married with children with millions in the bank. You might think you know the Bobby Ryan story but until you listen to this interview you really don't. Ryan gives full details of his experience as a youth and how's he's overcome such dramatic circumstances. Check this out as NHL All-Star Bobby Ryan joined the Cam and Strickland Podcast.
