UMD recruit accused of beating his girlfriend

Re: UMD recruit accused of beating his girlfriend

Mitch Ryan left UMD because he was unhappy with his playing time, not because he found St. Cloud's educational quality vastly superior to UMD's. But whether you choose to count him in the same category as Coole or Kronick doesn't change that he is a hockey player who played for UMD, left, and resurfaced at St, Cloooud.

Where did anyone say he left because St. Cloud was a better educational experience?
We said he didn't come to St. Cloud to play hockey, he came to finish his degree, he wasn't recruited by Motzko when he left UMD and was playing back in Juniors for Waterloo.
His playing career was over and he decided to finish his degree and was working in JCPenney or something selling shoes when Barta ran into him, convinced him to talk to Motzko who told him he could practice but to not expect to play.
The next year, he played some and this past year played less.
The reason we don't count him is simple, Coole and Kronick were recuited to come to St. Cloud, they asked if they could transfer here to play hockey, they came with the intent of continuing their hockey careers, Ryan did not.
It's not that hard to understand, really it's not.

This whole thing is stupid. Just goes to show how the media and society have enabled us to consider who is at fault and who is the victim without even receiving a verdict. I'm not saying he's innocent, because he's probably not. But I'd wait for all the information to come out before throwing him under the bus.

Where has the media said he's guilty of it?

Hm, yes. And if he had managed to play well against UMD, I'm sure you would have held the same distinction...

Oh well. I guess you're as delusional as always. And until some more news comes out about Stafne, I guess I'll have to get my USCHO entertainment provoking St, Cloooud fans.

And where in my post did I say that the media said he was guilty? I'm just saying that it seems to me that people have a tendency to think someone is guilty when they may or may not be, and I think some of that is caused by media influence. This doesn't seem like one of those cases, because of the past anger problems he's had, etc., but you never know what info could pop up.

This isn't Paris Hilton. The article was straight off the Police reports.

The moron couldn't keep his Pie-Hole shut when the Police showed up. He lied to the Police and implicated himself in the assault.
