From an early age, Ryan started playing hockey, but was firstly a forward. However, once he became frustrated with the bad performance of his team’s goaltender, he asked his coach and dad as well if he could take the goaltender position. His father set the condition that if Ryan scores at least two goals and three assists then he would let him play as goaltender; the next game Ryan achieved the set condition, and led his team to victory. Since then, he has been playing as a goaltender. After he finished high school, he enrolled at Michigan State University where he continued to play ice hockey. During his college years, Ryan set several records, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association record for most shutouts with 26, and was named as Goaltender of the Year of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association in every season.

After a successful season with the Americans he was called up by the Sabres and played in 15 games without major success, and after three games in the next season with the Sabres, he was sent back to the Americans.
