Jeff Jackson, General Manager of the Toronto Marlies, announced today that the club has signed defenceman Joe Ryan to a standard player’s contract. In keeping with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Ryan, 21, has appeared in 14 games with the Toronto Marlies this season collecting five points (one goal, four assists) and 13 penalty minutes. The 6’1, 204-pound defenceman registered his first career AHL point (assist) on January 31 versus Rockford. He scored his first career goal on February 11 against the Syracuse Crunch.
