Hockey Codes

Tom Ryan is an American lacrosse coach and former professional player. At Bowdoin College he was an All-American attackman and became the school's leading scorer after a 97-point senior season. In the National Lacrosse League, where he was known as the Dude for his long dreadlocked hair, he scored 202 career points (82 goals and 120 assists) playing for the Boston Blazers, Baltimore Thunder and Philadelphia Wings. He also played in Major League Lacrosse's inaugural season in 2001 with the New Jersey Pride and played for Team USA in the Heritage Cup in 2002. A series of concussions cut his playing career short. He then coached widely, led the United States indoor team at the 2007 and 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships, and was named the first head coach of the Boston Blazers, a post he held until December 2010. He is now head women's lacrosse coach at St. Lawrence University.
