Canton junior Joey Ryan has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 20 through Jan. 26. Ryan is the 20th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and sixth in the winter season.
Ryan scored three times and had an assist for the Bulldogs last week, as Canton maintained its perfect start to the league campaign and extended its unbeaten run to 13 games (12-0-1) since its season-opening loss to Barnstable. Ryan is now second on the team, and in the Hockomock League, with 16 points (six goals and 10 assists).
“Joey has been critical to our success as a team this season,” said Canton head coach Brian Shuman. “Since he moved to our top line late in December, our offense has picked up considerably. Joey is a gifted offensive talent who can score when needed, but he also sets up his teammates with his playmaking ability. In the last three games, he has showcased both skills, tallying two goals and three assists, helping us earn three key victories in that stretch.”
In a showdown with fellow unbeaten King Philip, Ryan scored and assisted on Canton’s two goals to help the Bulldogs secure the win, avenging the team’s lone league loss from last year and keep a one-game lead on Mansfield in the standings. Ryan opened the scoring with a power play and then set up Ryan Elrick for a goal just a couple minutes later to put Canton 2-0 up in the first period. Ryan added the third goal in Canton’s win over Wellesley on Sunday in the first round of the Ed Burns Cup.
