Roster, U10 (Sun County Panthers)

Ryan Roach

Ryan brings a strong passion for the game and thrives on building a fun team environment for his players to develop in. He combines both his playing and coaching experience to develop his team into great hockey players and exceptional people.

His playing career has seen him wear both local AAA sweaters, and he was even a member on one of the first Sun County Panther teams back in 1995. After playing AAA his entire minor hockey career, he moved on to Junior teams such as the Tecumseh Chiefs and most notably the Essex 73s. In Essex, Ryan learned how to become a winner and is a two time Schmaltz Cup Champion. Ryan was recently honoured by the 73s organization by being called to their Wall of Fame, which honors the top players in franchise history. You can see his picture up on the wall in our home rink displaying an example of what greatness is for all our Panthers players to look up to. Ryan attributes his hockey success to hard work and dedication, and he brings that work ethic with him when he is coaching a team.

After playing, Ryan went directly into coaching and spent time as an Assistant Coach in both local AAA organizations for six seasons. After taking some time off to start his family, he quickly jumped back into volunteering his time as a coach when his kids began to play hockey. Overall, Ryan has been behind the bench for over 13 seasons and is looking forward to building a strong team in Sun County with the top 2016 kids in this area.
