Bobby Ryan is a great hockey player. His early life almost destroyed his opportunity to play hockey professionally. I lived in Owen Sound during his days playing with the Owen Sound Attack. I'm very thankful I had the opportunity to see him play then - AND now. Keep playing great hockey, Bobby. I' cheering for you.
I've always had a lot of respect for Bobby Ryan. That increased significantly when he admitted he had a problem and sought help to overcome it. Now, learning about all of this, it's hard to put into words the amount of respect I have for this man and his resilience.
I recently had Bobby on my school's sports podcast and he's doing really well rn! We talked about his rehab, obviously that first game back, Olympics, World Juniors, etc. As a UFA, he says he wants to be picked up by Nashville, if any team wants to pick him up, since he just recently moved there with his wife and kids.
what does the Dad mean, 'its not the first fight I've been in'?? umm...he just beat a defenseless women to a pulp, thats NOT a fight. Thats domestic abuse. Unless I missed something?
Just playing devil’s advocate, but I think he meant that he knew he could become violent in situations. As in he knew he had a temper and could blow up on people. Men or women. Still awful. Again don’t misconstrue what I said as a defensive of him or his actions. Just explaining what i believe he means by that
@@megiraffe79 because like you, I know the first time I heard him talk about it the tone and body language I think is what caught me so off guard... the way he talks about beating a women to a pulp like he’s not disturbed in the slightest by what he did... that’s what I personally believe is the most messed up
Dad said " It wasn't the first fight I've been in", nah dude it wasn't a fight it was an Assault!! Attempted murder against a female, just because she tries to protect herself doesn't make it a 'fight'.
@@venomsnake9689 I don’t think so, but I lean towards the positive. Last year I was saying they could make the playoffs. 😳 They need the right mindset. I don’t know how a team acquires that.
Love Bobby Ryan. Not only is he one hell of a hockey player, his spirit is si uplifting. I think of this young man often when I hear similar stories. I wish he go play for the VGK. Bless his heart and his family!
Basic rule to follow. Your in charge of your own life & actions. So make sure you don't do anything that's going to be totally wrong. Drugs, alcohol, cheating, stealing, abuse, its not that hard! Treat others how you want to be treated. Would you want your daughter treated as a punching bag? You get the picture.
First time I've seen this , crazy stuff and story but I wanna say WELCOME TO THE DETROIT REDWINGS BOBBY RYAN , I think your gonna do Amazing things in Detroit 👍
@@leeving3954 he’s gonna get traded at the deadline. Besides he really enjoys playing in Detroit under Steve Yzerman. Bobby Ryan doesn’t need your pity😂
So he beats his wife, jumps bail, isn’t owning up to his crime, runs to another state, and his wife decides to join him and put Bobby in that situation!? What kind of family is this? Poor Bobby, he deserved better than that. And they use his hockey as an excuse to make this all ok. The father says he’s doing it for his son? If he cared about his son he wouldn’t have gotten into this mess in the first place.
The wife joined him and put him in that situation because she forgave him. Something you don’t really understand. Also, they moved to California, because that’s where they had good hockey programs for Bobby, and he played in the 2001 Quebec international peewee hockey tournament, with the LA jr Kings. California just provided Bobby with a good hockey environment, and now he’s in the NHL, so yeah. Don’t complain.
It's amazing but when it says he's "come to terms" I get really mad because the guy went into full blown addiction and recovery, and you never fully "get through it".
That night wasn't a one time thing, it was just the one night it got so bad the police got involved. She was the girl that once in a while had a black eye that you could still see despite the giant sunglasses she was wearing inside.
Recovering heroin addict here, every day is a fight. I’ve always loved Bobby. I loved watching him at the 2010 games. This thing is hard for those of us that can’t just pick up or use and say “that’s enough” and stop. We have a demon in us. I’m so proud of Bobby.
U probably don’t have issues in life and think life is always perfect for everyone I can’t relate to alcohol and family and life is far from ever to be perfect.
I call bs that his dad ran away because he wanted Bobby to have a good life with both parents. He wanted his son to be a hockey star and wanted to control his progression through the leagues.
That's a good question...but I think the Dad was already a rage-a-holic. A phone call doesn't mean anything. No matter what it was about. The interview is pretty weird...the Dad seems to actually believe a phone call justifies his actions, which just shows how much of a tyrant he is
Same happen to me until one day I told my father that if he touches my mom again I will kill him myself. On top of that everyday I was going in school I was getting beaten.
A restraining order issued in the US would not be valid or legally binding in Canada. There would have been nothing "illegal" about his mother and father being together at his draft in Ottawa.
If you are wondering whether or not to watch this show my vote is : don't bother. Appreciate the story, but, creepy dad made me fast forward thru his interviews and now I feel sorry for the kid. Mom gets what she wanted. meh. I cant see the value of the show beyond catharsis for Bobby Ryan. Unconvincing, ugly, lip service. Sorry that Chris Simpson and to smile at that guy. Good luck Bob Ryan.
Can’t wait for his return to Ottawa when the Red Wings visit the Sens. I was so mad that the Sens bought him out. Hopefully it’s the last stupid move by Dorion and the Sens.
i don't think bobby played on the skatezone rink ever... lets talk about the colosseum and the 99ers where he started showing greatness thats where it all started
There should be no such thing as alcohol how many lives families marriages its cost it's used as a crutch excuse luckily my dad wasnt a drunk but I've seen it wreck lives careers its insidious
Man this is crazy. Takes a lot of guts to put this out there. Glad he got sober!

This never fails to bring a tear to my eye! And now Bobby’s mom passed, only that POS remains

I can relate. Wishing this family lots of luck with future endeavours. 🙏
I know he’s had issues since so I wish him all the best for the remainder of his career.
No doubt his issues got worse after his mom passed of cancer in 2016
God bless Bobby Ryan. 2nd overall pick with all this mental abuse. Now sober, true legend.. God Bless
Thank you for posting this very human story. It helps make my personal burdens easier to bear, so thank you to all involved. I appreciate it greatly.
One of those stories that proves the truth is stranger than fiction.
One of the dopest stories out there. Absolute legend. Bobby Beauty.
I liked this dude before hearing this. Now I love him! This story is unbelievable!
what does the Dad mean, 'its not the first fight I've been in'?? umm...he just beat a defenseless women to a pulp, thats NOT a fight. Thats domestic abuse. Unless I missed something?
His eyes actually lit up and he smiled when he said it. He was proud of himself for the fights he’d had.

@@BoboMcBooboy yeah..u have a point. Really, I can't see some one saying that in a public interview. Unless they are extremely sick minded
Not the first time he beat his wife

I heard about this guy a couple weeks ago. This is one of the most insane sports stories I've ever heard.
Dad said " It wasn't the first fight I've been in", nah dude it wasn't a fight it was an Assault!! Attempted murder against a female, just because she tries to protect herself doesn't make it a 'fight'.
I wouldn't want to have anything more to do with a vicious, criminal, coward like Bobby Ryan's dad, who beat his mother.
Exactly. His mom, like alot of abuse victims go back to the abuser...he almost killed her...somehow she thinks it won't happen again...until...
Ok man
@@robertnahum5823wow dude
Exactly his dad is a little steroid fresk coward
Wow, what a story!
Bobby Ryan is a cool name, like a superhero or hockey player.
Welcome to Detroit Bobby, we’ll take care of you bud! 🙏❤️
Detroit is a dumping ground for another 3-4 years bud
@@venomsnake9689
I don’t think so, but I lean towards the positive. Last year I was saying they could make the playoffs. 😳
They need the right mindset. I don’t know how a team acquires that.
Great respect for him wish you would have signed with the flyers this free agency
Love Bobby Ryan. Not only is he one hell of a hockey player, his spirit is si uplifting. I think of this young man often when I hear similar stories. I wish he go play for the VGK. Bless his heart and his family!
"Not the first fight I was in."
Bruh you beat the eff out of your wife. Quit playin
Ok dude
Bobby Ryan has always been my favorite hockey player
His mom is so strong! She got abused by his dad but yet still put Bobby’s future and life before hers! What a great loving mom 🥺
I love the mom! Love the whole family! U just gotta love Bobby Ryan:)

Thanks for coming to Detroit and sharing your story Bobby.
I honestly do hope he’s doing better, people like him deserve a second chance.

3 goals in 2 games so far!!

@@willygoat4113 Welp, you were wrong
@@luvhrxses he wasn’t traded because he was injured lol
.... and it's gone!
You root for guys like Bobby kudos to him he's well like around the league
The power of parents love for their child.

People make mistakes nobody is perfect...what matters is if they learn from them ...I guess your a perfect angel
L. Hayashi, Well-stated on all points & observations.
It's amazing but when it says he's "come to terms" I get really mad because the guy went into full blown addiction and recovery, and you never fully "get through it".
"wasn't the first fight I was in"..from guy who beat up his own wife for no reason. Sorry for Bobby.
Who beat his wife
@@mikecows828 you even watch the video?
This was uploaded last month, and I think THAT one was already an upload
not sure how this got missed, but Bobby Ryan's mother died of cancer in 2016, RIP Melody!
That night wasn't a one time thing, it was just the one night it got so bad the police got involved. She was the girl that once in a while had a black eye that you could still see despite the giant sunglasses she was wearing inside.
Emotionally tough to watch...
I just became a Bobby Ryan fan even though I'm Canadian lol
Bobby played in the Sound stayed a buddy's place. I'm glad he's back!
Truly inspiring
funny coming from a dysfunctional family theres only one word I NEVER HEARD IN THE WHOLE SHOW LOVE!!!!!
Recovering heroin addict here, every day is a fight. I’ve always loved Bobby. I loved watching him at the 2010 games. This thing is hard for those of us that can’t just pick up or use and say “that’s enough” and stop. We have a demon in us. I’m so proud of Bobby.
That father of his I think he was on steroids, body building and rages over nothing! There is more to this story their not telling.
I was thinking the same thing
Respect
His dad does not seem remorseful at all
U probably don’t have issues in life and think life is always perfect for everyone I can’t relate to alcohol and family and life is far from ever to be perfect.
The reporter said that Bobby’s father didn’t go on the run for himself but for his family. Really, are we sure about that?
Justin Williams is WRONG! Chris Simpson is a AMAZING reporter. Missi Pyle is #1!
That father triggers a lot of warnings, raises lots of red flags ...
U just gotta love Bobby Ryan:)
I call bs that his dad ran away because he wanted Bobby to have a good life with both parents. He wanted his son to be a hockey star and wanted to control his progression through the leagues.
God bless this family they deserve peace
Who else feels bad for Bobby Ryan
Biggest thumbs up I’ve ever given a video.
Trauma really takes a toll on the soul
Glad hes on the wings now. Hated the ducks, lol. Stevie Y will keep him straight.
Would it be possible to get Finnish subtitles for longer videos !?
yes, i mean no.
Best hockey player
I'm praying you return to Ottawa
Any insight on that phone message that set off dad?
What was the phone message that made Dad go nuts?
That's a good question...but I think the Dad was already a rage-a-holic. A phone call doesn't mean anything. No matter what it was about. The interview is pretty weird...the Dad seems to actually believe a phone call justifies his actions, which just shows how much of a tyrant he is
Great story,never new anything about this my cuz knew him when he played in Owen Sound
Same happen to me until one day I told my father that if he touches my mom again I will kill him myself. On top of that everyday I was going in school I was getting beaten.
Hope you guys are doing better. Never be ashamed to ask for help.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Thumbs up too You Bobby Ryan 👍
Isn’t this a reupload?
Wasn't it uploaded last week
I'm surprised a felon was able to get into Ottawa. If you have so much as a DUI you're considered inadmissible.
A restraining order issued in the US would not be valid or legally binding in Canada. There would have been nothing "illegal" about his mother and father being together at his draft in Ottawa.
And one of my new favorite player is Bobby Ryan!
We all know he didn’t pick Kramer for the reason he said we all know why you picked Kramer bob
Why did he pick it
Bobby Ryan was my favorite player in Anaheim Ducks
Same man I grew up when he was becoming a star on the ducks he was so fun to watch
Does anyone know why this was reuploaded
Story of strenght, resiliency and determination, something we need now a days
Money
@@jacobkotai3710 7k views is bringing 0 money lol
he got traded
Bobby Ryan was a bright spot on a dog red wing team..... always liked him - he was great on a good Ducks team.
We want a movie
Anyone know what he’s doing now since he didn’t get a contract extension from Detroit??
His dad has a Napoleon complex
Blockbuster!
He has two first names....like Ricky bobby 🤣
Kramer!
Is nobody else here concerned about government intervention in the lives of families?
"Stay together for the kids!"
Wish the ducks didn’t trade him to Ottawa. Boudreau just didn’t know how to play him back then.

i don't think bobby played on the skatezone rink ever... lets talk about the colosseum and the 99ers where he started showing greatness thats where it all started
well my next jersey will be his no doubt
Burkie deserves credit for doing the work!
I hope Bobby Ryan finds himself with Detroit Red Wings, a new start.
3 goals in 2 games so far!
@@willygoat4113 4 in 3!!
@@TheGooseTV hell yeah
@@willygoat4113 4 now
They had to upload this
Obviously the message on his moms phone was from another man.
I wish Chicago would trade with Detroit for Bobby. He’d be fairly cheap and still has a ton left in the tank.
Nobody will want to play in Chicago now ...what a Disgrace
There should be no such thing as alcohol how many lives families marriages its cost it's used as a crutch excuse luckily my dad wasnt a drunk but I've seen it wreck lives careers its insidious
Cool
This is giving me a raging clue.
That family needs a lot of therapy.
Bobby got therapy
Its fascinating, that even tho his father made some very serious mistakes, he still cared about his sons hockey.
I dunno.. seems like kind of typical storyline with the exception of him being an nhl player. Millions of people go through this struggle on the daily
that doesn’t make it any less awful that he had to go through that-sorry if that’s been your experience as well, but abuse is always abuse
Just because others go through it doesn’t mean we should back away from the chance to raise awareness when it’s presented
They had a lot of money to be able to do what they did.
I wouldn't have told this story, some things are better unsaid.
Why,
If Bobby feels it’s necessary to raise awareness to issues like these then it’s his choice
I just gave this video its 1,000th like!
Very tragic start in life
