Shoresy Star's Unexpected Hockey Comeback

Terry Ryan, a prominent figure in the popular hockey comedy "Shoresy," is experiencing a unique resurgence of his hockey dreams. He and his castmates are currently participating in the Shoresy Fall Classic, a tour featuring games against NHL alumni in various cities across North America. This event highlights the cast's dual talents as actors and skilled hockey players, drawing enthusiastic crowds despite the team often facing defeat.

Ryan's journey to this point is unconventional. After a brief eight-game NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens and subsequent AHL seasons, an ankle injury derailed his professional hockey aspirations. He then transitioned to a career in film and television, initially working behind the scenes before acting roles emerged. His entry into acting was significantly influenced by actor Jason Momoa, who provided crucial opportunities and advice, leading to roles that capitalized on Ryan's distinctive appearance.

Beyond the screen, Ryan's connection to hockey remained strong. He even taught Jason Momoa and others the intricacies of skating and hockey fights. This unique path, from NHL hopeful to film crew member and actor, has now culminated in a role that blends his passions, allowing him to connect with fans and relive a version of his hockey aspirations on a grand stage.
