History

Ryan Flynn was the lone freshman on the 2002-03 Centennial team, posting totals of 15 goals and 24 assists in 28 games to finish fifth on the team in scoring.

2003-04: Flynn played in 30 games for Centennial High School (Minnesota). He helped lead the team to a remarkable 30-1-0 record with his 68 points (29 goals, 39 assists). His strong play earned him both All-Conference and All-State Honorable Mentions.

2004-05: Playing for the US National Development U-17 Team, Flynn had himself a strong season. In 64 games, Flynn recorded 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) and 50 PIM. He also recorded a goal at the Four Nations Cup, helping Team USA finish in first place.

2005-06: Flynn transitioned nicely to playing at the U-18 level. While some players struggle to adjust to playing against this new level of competition, Flynn put up stats very similar to his U-17 stats. In 59 games, Flynn notched 33 points (16 goals, 17 assists) and 77 PIM. He also posted two game winning goals. 12 of his 33 points (seven goals, five assists), and one of his game winning goals came against college opponents.

2006-07: Ryan Flynn provided some size and grit on a very deep Minnesota Golden Gophers roster this season. The Lino Lakes, MN native posted 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 43 appearances. He co-led the team with 58 penalty minutes. 

Talent Analysis

Flynn is a budding power forward who thrives in the physical side of the game. He is a fierce competitor and uses his size, strength and long reach to great advantage, particularly when driving to the net. Flynn is not the prettiest skater on the ice, but he does get around the rink pretty well. However, he could use some work on his foot speed and keeping his feet moving more consistently. He is quite good defensively and saw regular time on Minnesota’s penalty killing unit. Flynn possesses a heavy shot with a very quick release. 

Future

Flynn is in his sophomore year at the University of Minnesota this.
