N.L.’s St. John’s The ECHL’s Newfoundland Growlers’ decision to stop play has an impact on two former Cape Breton Screaming Eagles players.

The Growlers organization, which included Adam Pardy and Marek Benda, disbanded on

Tuesday after the league’s board of governors rejected an impromptu proposal to the ECHL to keep the team in play.

After dominating the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Tri-City Americans and Red Deer Rebels,

Ryan was selected by the Montreal Canadiens as the eighth overall pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. He scored 111 goals and 247 points in 207 career games, and in the 1996–97 season, he led all WHL players in postseason goals with 18.

Before being sent back to Red Deer, the Newfoundlander played in three games during his 1996–1997 NHL debut.

Ryan made his American Hockey League (AHL) debut the following season with the Fredericton Canadiens,

where he finished with 21 goals and 39 points in 71 games,

winning the 1998 Rookie of the Year award. In addition, with 34 scrapes that season, he led the AHL in fights. During the following

Before switching to senior men’s hockey and playing in the WCSHL, NLSHL, ECSHL,

and most recently the AESHL, where he played four games in 2021–22 with the St. Johns Sr. Ice Caps and recorded three assists,

Ryan also played in the IHL with the Utah Grizzlies and Long Beach Ice Dogs.

Ryan competed for Canada in the ISBHF ball hockey competitions in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013.

He helped Canada win gold in 2003 and 2007, silver in 2011,

and another bronze at the 2013 Worlds in his hometown of St. John’s.

His St. John’s-based Colonial Auto Parts team took home the 2018 Canadian men’s masters title.

The team’s development coach was Pardy, 40.

From 2002 to 2005, he spent two and a half seasons as an Eagle.

Benda, 34, has been with the Growlers of St. John’s since 2018 and served as the team’s goalie coach.

In 2007–08, the Czechia native spent one season with the Eagles.

The ECHL indicated in a news release that the Growlers’ membership was revoked by the board of governors due to their noncompliance with the league’s bylaws.

Terry Ryan, 47, returns to the ECHL Newfoundland Growlers

Terry Ryan will play for the ECHL’s Newfoundland Growlers against the Adirondack Thunder today after coming out of retirement.

Currently starring in the popular comedy program “Shorsey,” the 47-year-old former NHL player hopes to return to professional hockey.

Ryan’s last ECHL season was with the Cincinnati Cyclones in 2002–03.

Tyler Kuehl and I will examine the top player by position every week during the first Professional

Women’s Hockey league season as part of Daily Faceoff’s ongoing coverage of the PWHL.

In Week 2 of the PWHL, let’s see who made the most impression.

Check out the Daily Faceoff Players of the Week from the previous week.

Poulin, Marie-Philip (F, Montreal) It was inevitable that the player who was undoubtedly the best in the game would be included.

Come pick up your award, whoever won “Week 2” in the office betting pool.

In addition to his hat-trick in Montreal’s 5-2 victory over New York last Wednesday, Poulin was a key player in both of the team’s games this week.

Between Wednesday and their match against Boston on Saturday, the Montreal captain had ten shots in all.

Additionally, she had a 72 percent winning percentage on Saturday, going 13 for 18 in faceoffs.

With ten goals going into Sunday, Montreal led the league, and Poulin shared the lead in points with

Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle of Minnesota. Without a doubt, Captain Canada will finish the season at the top of the points standings.

Montreal’s Erin Ambrose (D) Finding this week’s top defender doesn’t need much searching.

Erin Ambrose, Poulin’s teammate, was excellent on both ends of the rink.

She played good defense and stopped almost every chance in her own end while creating scoring opportunities in the offensive zone.

Ambrose scored a goal of her own against Boston after delivering a beautiful cross-ice pass to Poulin against New York for her teammate’s first of the season. The ball was sent from the point with eyes.

You’ll probably find her name on this list more than once, much like with Poulin.

Hensley, Nicole (G, Minnesota) Last week, Nicole Hensley of Minnesota made a strong case to be the league’s best goalie,

but Corinne Schroeder of New York narrowly defeated her. However, there was no discussion in Week 2; Hensley was the winner.
