Today on the show Dylan Playfair and Ty Smith are joined by Terry Ryan, a man who’s lived about five lifetimes’ worth of stories already and he’s here to tell them.
Born in St. John’s and raised in Mount Pearl, Terry was drafted 8th overall by the Montreal Canadiens, making him one of the highest NHL draft picks ever to come out of Newfoundland and Labrador. His pro career may not have unfolded the way he expected, but Terry went on to make his mark in ball hockey, representing Team Canada at six world championships.
Off the ice, he’s reinvented himself as an actor, popping up in hit shows like Shoresy, Jason Momoa's Frontier and Hudson & Rex. He's also an author with two memoirs that pull no punches about the highs and lows of life in hockey and beyond.
In true Terry fashion, on his 47th birthday, he suited up for the Newfoundland Growlers in the ECHL becoming the oldest player to ever hit the ice in that league, complete with a fight for good measure of course.
Terry Ryan is a storyteller, a scrapper, and a guy who knows the value of finding good friends and hanging onto them for life.
