Cast a Reel with Ryan
Some of us know Ryan well, while others may not, so let's get to know a bit about our guy. Like most Canadian boys, Ryan lives and breathes hockey. Ryan used to play league and pick-up hockey and loves to be on the ice. He faithfully watches and cheers for his absolute favourite team, the Montreal Canadiens. Ryan is also bilingual, plays the guitar and has many other amazing hidden talents. He is happiest surrounded by water. Ryan loves being outside, especially with his new constant companion Raleigh. Raleigh is a beautiful red Doberman and quickly has become Ryan's best friend and often helps motivate him to get out of bed and begin his often difficult day. As you may have gathered from the theme of this site, Ryan loves baitin' a hook! His proudest catch happened on a chugger in the early hours of the morning: it was a small-mouth bass. Ryan is also interested in indigenous culture and has participated in many sweat lodge ceremonies. An avid outdoorsman, Ryan also has a sensitive side. He's all this AND a poet! To view a poem he wrote about his battle with the disease that has taken over his life, look below.
