Capitals Corner Profile: Ryan MacMurchy

We're in the junior ranks again in Capitals Corner as Ryan MacMurchy joins us. The 21-year-old plays on the right wing and has at least a couple more seasons left with the Junior Capitals before moving up to the professional ranks.

MacMurchy is 5-11 and 190 pounds and plays an intense, strong game. He has decent speed and skating and an okay scoring touch. Ryan needs to work on his endurance, durability, passing and overall skill level, but he has time to do it. Last season he scored 18 goals and dished out 31 assists with 102 hits and 49 PIMs in 73 games. He should have every opportunity to continue to score this year.

Ryan has four siblings, three brothers aged 8, 6, and 4, and a five-year-old sister. A native of Regina, Saskatchewan, MacMurchy's favorite team growing up was the Edmonton Oilers and his favorite players are Jarome Iginla and Ryan Smyth.

Before joining the Junior Capitals, MacMurchy matriculated at the University of Wisconsin at Madison where he majored in consumer science.
