Kenny would score 14 goals and 21 assists playing mostly on the 3rd line of a stacked Windsor team. In 19 playoff games with Windsor, Ryan would add three goals and two assists. As well as two goals and two assists in four games with Windsor in the Memorial Cup tournament.

Talent Analysis
Seen as a primary defensive forward on the team, Ryan is capable at the center and wing positions. He's very strong on his skates due to a strong build, and is a hard worker in the corners. While his offensive production hasn't been where many would have liked, he's very coachable, and versatile in a variety of roles.
Future
Ryan will have the opportunity to win a position with the Toronto Marlies in 2011-12, but is also eligible to return to the OHL.
Projection: Stocky forward with defensive acumen.
