Ryan, 26, joins the Railers after having spent most of the 2021-22 season with the Utah Grizzlies, recording 24 points (12G, 12A) in 57 games played. Ryan also played two games with the Indy Fuel last season, scoring one point (1G, 0A).

At Liberty, the 5-10, 170lb forward totaled 235 points (88G, 147A) in his 147 games played. In his final season with the Flames in 2020-21, Ryan led the team in scoring with 18 points (9G, 9A) in 13 games, averaging 1.38 Pt/G while helping to lead Liberty to the 2021 ACHA semifinals as the #4 seed in the tournament. 

“When we played against Quinn last season in Utah, he really stood out to me,” Lavallee-Smotherman said. “He is an incredibly fast skater with a ton of skill and upside to his game.”
