I whould say that my first season was a real rollercoaster in terms of emotions, starting with the draft. In this great class, I was expecting to go high up but yeah, lets say it didnt really happen... I fell to the second round and was kind of underwhelmed at first. But then I landed in Kelowna which ended up being a superb place. Gms @ThePyroAlpaca and @Froste39 are just awesome persons and they just bring an insane vibe in the lockeroom ! What we accomplished this season is just awesome as nobody saw us finishing at 7th in the whole league and 4th in our conference as a team many qualified as rebuilding we really proved everybody wrong. Personal performance wise, I started very very slowly and was kind of deceived, but then, I was starting to get really productive and helpfull for my team, especially defensively and assists wise! Next season, one thing i'd like to improve is my goal scoring hability, even as a playmaker I have to be more precise on goal.One moment I won't forget is probably when I scored my first in the league, it was a special moment to be fair, I realised a child dream with that. Another moment that I will remember forever is probably when I hit the 50 points mark! The fans were chanting my name, I was just flabbergasted from that, it made me think about all the efforts I had put into my career and all the sacrifices my dad made for me since I was young, it kinda made me tear up to be fair. We also had a great playoff run until we matched-up against QCC in round two, where we got swept...Next season I can say I want to establish myself as a superstar and hopefully have a great playoffs with Kelowna!

Ryan was tasked with a rough job early on, having to split starts with a team looking at a youthful defensive squad, and it reflected in the goaltending contributions for the Walleye this season. It will be a season to build on but one to put behind them for Berd, who will be moving on to the SHL, and for Ryan, who will become the unquestioned starter moving into the following season. This is not to say that nothing of value can be gleamed from the situation they were placed in. The tough games will provide plenty of film for the coaching staff to point to for Ryan to improve on his technique and his ability to have consistency from game to game in this league in order for him to have a solid career in the future, SMJHL and SHL. Still, would be nice to win some more games.
