Jason R. Ryznar (born February 19, 1983) is a retired American professional ice hockey athlete.
Playing career
Ryznar, who mainly played as a left wing, was chosen 64th overall during the third round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils.
Before committing to four seasons at the University of Michigan, he represented the United States Junior National Team in both 2000 and 2001, where he honed his skills primarily as a checking line forward.
During the 2005–06 season, Ryznar suited up for the Albany River Rats, the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Devils.
In January 2005, due to a combination of injuries and suspensions on the Devils roster, Ryznar received a call-up and made brief appearances as a fourth-line player—an uncommon rapid advancement for a rookie within the deep talent pool of New Jersey's organization.
Following the conclusion of the 2007–08 campaign, Ryznar was not offered a new contract by the Devils. He subsequently attended the Minnesota Wild training camp in September 2008 and earned a spot on their affiliate team, the Houston Aeros, appearing on their roster for the opening night of the 2008–09 season.
