Ben Clymer’s Inspired Performance Last Saturday Night

Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune informed readers of how Washington Capital Ben Clymer remembered 17-year-old Minnesota schoolboy Ryan Shuman, who succumbed to cancer last Friday:

On Sunday, [Ryan's father] Bob received a message from Ben Clymer, a former University of Minnesota hockey player now with the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals. He had come to know Ryan and learned of Ryan’s death before Washington’s game Saturday.

Clymer put Ryan’s name on his hockey stick and scored a goal. In his message, he said he was sending the stick and the puck to the Shumans. “Ryan’s scored his first NHL goal,” Clymer wrote.

Services for Ryan Shuman were held Sunday in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and those attending were encouraged to wear hockey jerseys.
