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.
