After tearing the meniscus in his left knee two years ago, he went through surgery and rounds and rounds of physical therapy. He hated traveling so much, but right now it was necessary. Leaning his head back, Jordan closed his eyes and finally began to relax. “Yeah,” Jordan said, as he arrived at the departure gate and took the first seat he found available.
So you’ll fly home for the game tomorrow, take a break, another home game, then to Carolina for a meeting with the IceCats?” Bill Ryan asked. Since Jordan hadn’t been perfect for the last two years, he had learned it was best to keep disappointing details out of their conversations. Jordan loved his father, but Bill Ryan, who was not only his father but also his agent, did not accept anything but perfection. Based on the interviews, it seemed that neither team wanted him, which he knew he couldn’t share. Now late in the day he was hungry, tired, and a little anxious. Both appointments, though stressful, were over before lunch. He’d flown out that morning to meet with the Rangers and the Sabres NHL hockey teams. Jordan Ryan hustled through the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, heading to the terminal where he’d catch his flight back home to Nashville, Tennessee. So here’s to the best fans a girl could get, my beautiful puck bunnies. I never expected to have such amazing people behind me, and because of you I am living my dreams. Thank you so much for being there for me, for believing in me and encouraging me to do what I love to do.
