Ryan Russell Facts

Player Type: Speedster
Drafted: 2005 round 7 #211 overall by New York Rangers

A small forward, Russell has very good work ethic and is an excellent skater. He possesses decent hockey IQ and on-ice vision as well as solid offensive skills. Russell's size is a major weakness and while he compensates for it with a great attitude, he is unlikely to reach a regular scoring role in the NHL. (Matias Strozyk, 2011)

Twin Brother: Kris Russell
