Biography
The 28-year-old joins the Giants from Selber Wölfe of Germany’s DEL2, where he posted 30 points (13 goals and 17 assists) in 26 regular season games last year. Prior to his time in Europe, the Virginia native spent four seasons with the Adirondack Thunder in the ECHL, tallying 131 points across 227 games.
A right-shot forward who can play both centre and wing, Smith is recognised for his reliable two-way play, strong skating, and ability to chip in at both ends of the ice. His experience in both North American and European leagues makes him a well-rounded addition to the Giants’ forward group.
Smith is expected to add depth and flexibility to the Giants’ forward unit, capable of playing up and down the lineup as needed. His combination of experience and work ethic aligns well with the team’s approach heading into the new season.
Ryan dons the #88 teal jersey for the 2024/25 season in Belfast.
