  A New Jersey Devil draft pick back in 1998, Ryan Held has never played a game in the NHL but is certainly still active in professional hockey. Ryan played in the Ontario Hockey League from 1997-98 to 2000-01. Held is now a member of the Central Hockey League’s Mississippi RiverKings.

  Ryan began his OHL career with the Kitchener Rangers and played three full seasons out of the Aud. His best season with the Rangers, which was also his best season in the OHL, was 1999-00 when he scored 31 goals and added 43 assists for 74 points. He started the 2000-01 season with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds before being traded to the London Knights, where he finished off his Ontario Hockey League career.

  Ryan would go on to play four seasons with the University of Western Ontario Mustangs before testing the European waters with the Geleen Smoke Eaters in Holland for the 2005-06 season. His career with the RiverKings began in 2006-07 and he continued with the team in 2007-08. 2008-09 would see him test the European waters again and he would score at a 2-point per game pace with Vipiteno in Italy.
