The Cardiff Devils are pleased to confirm the re-signing of forward Ryan Barrow.

The 27-year-old Canadian had 14 goals and 25 assists for 39 points in 60 games last season, his first as a Devil. 

After 5 years at the University of Denver, Barrow turned pro with the Manchester Storm ahead of the 2021-22 season.  He scored 12 goals and 20 assists in just 30 games before being injured and missing the rest of the season.

Barrow is a hard-working forward with a nose for the net.  He played most of last season on a line with Jamie Arniel and Cole Ully and was a regular on both the penalty kill and the powerplay.

Originally from Banff, Alberta he is a former teammate of owner Steve King’s son Carter who played one season with Ryan at Denver where they won an NCAA National Championship together in 2022.  Barrow picked up the Scott Matzka Award last season at Devils Annual Awards Ceremony. 

Pete Russell spoke about the re-signing:

“Ryan is an absolute workhorse all over the ice. He was one of our most consistent players last season, he brings it every game. 

“I love his compete level and his willingness to get into the corners and win battles. He is relentless on the forecheck, which creates turnovers and leads to opportunities for his linemates.”

“This will only be his third year of pro hockey and he is just going to get better.”
