gxc999 7 Report post Posted October 12, 2013 I found that out a couple of years ago. My wife was totally blown away when she read it a few months ago. Definitely sounds like a book or movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bagsbie 8 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 Some of the best talents come from great adversity and life challenges. Good for Bobby Ryan to persevere and turn into such a great hockey player. Thanks for sharing. I am going to start kicking my 7 yo out of bed at 5AM :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donkers 31 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 I was in the Jr Kings organization the same time he was too. He was good and wasn't a dick like all the other kids. Played with him a few times at the local roller hockey rink. Didn't really know his background story at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBondo 233 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 Agreed. He lived a couple streets down from me for a while before he went to the OHL so I got a chance to spend some time with him (my best friend at the time is his cousin). He was always a good kid, taught me a lot about the game. I wrote a story for my school paper on his past (with his blessing), but his Mom originally wasn't a big fan of it. She fortunately came around though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
