Bobby Ryan is an American former professional ice hockey winger. He played for the Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings in the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted second overall behind Sydney Crosby by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

He played six seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, seven seasons with Ottawa Senators followed by his final season with Detroit in 2020–21. He won the Silver Medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. His first 4 seasons with the Ducks he scored over 30 goals each season. November 2019 while on the road in Detroit, he left practice early to self admit into rehab for alcoholism. Bobby has a well documented history of childhood trauma he endured at 10 years old. After taking 3 months off mid-season for rehab, he had a triumphed return while at his 1st game back home in Ottawa he scored a hat trick. He received a huge standing ovation from all the fans in attendance that was also well praised by several media outlets for days after. He would eventually win the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey.

Besides being a dotting dad to his 2 young children, Riley and Chase, he has now joined to host the increasingly popular podcast @ComingInHotWithWallaceAndRyan with Brent Wallace and Jason York. The YouTube podcast is scheduled 3 days a week for the next 3 years.

The jersey is from his 2007-2008 season when he played 48 games for the Portland Pirates. During that time he scored 21g and 28a. The jersey was signed by Bobby on Dec 03, 2009 in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center. At that time, it was asked if he would bring a stick to store as a collectable with the jersey when his team returned on Dec 31, 2009. True to his word, he had his equipment manager pack an extra stick for that road trip. It is a very well used stick during one of the best seasons of his career that he also signed.
