Your Go Goodwins Manchester Storm are delighted to welcome original Storm Junior and current Altrincham Aces netminder, Declan Ryan, to the club as a backup netminder for the 2017/18 season.

The ever popular 24-year-old joins the Storm following a season with the NIHL’s Altrincham Aces, who also play out of SilverBlades Ice Rink Altrincham, where he registered a .921 save percentage in 21 games.

Ryan is familiar to higher levels of hockey however, having spent numerous seasons with the Manchester Phoenix and the Telford Tigers in the EPL, and even helped the Storm last season, dressing as a back up for the Challenge Cup quarter final home game against the Belfast Giants.

The 5’11” netminder will use the number 31 this season, and all his jerseys will be available to Own & Loan from 8am TOMORROW, Saturday 29th July! Plus, be sure to give Ryan a warm welcome on Twitter, where you can find him using the handle: @Dekes31

Storm coach, Ryan Finnerty, is delighted to have secured Declan’s services for the 17/18 season, commenting;

“In Clemente we have one of the leagues best netminders, and in Dec Ryan we not only have an experienced backup netminder, but it also allows us to continue our long standing partnership with the Aces, which is a partnership we look forward to growing further. With these three guys, we’ll formulate one of the best netminding trios in the league. We would especially like to thank Head Coach Wayne Slater & the Aces for allowing us to sign Ryan for the Storm.”

Unlike all our other players, we have also taken the decision to NOT put Declan up for player sponsorship, but instead give this to the Storm Academy, as he is a product of the original Storm’s junior camps and teams.
