Hill of a player in Blind River
He is in his third full season in Blind River. He recently appeared in his 100th regular season game with the Beavers en route to becoming an impact player in the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League. Hailing from Appleton, Wisconsin, he is 2006 birth year forward Ryder Hill.
Standing in at 6 feet, 170 pounds, Hill has been a helluva performer for Blind River through 12 games thus far this season. His team leading 18 points includes nine goals and nine assists for the Beavers, who have a record of 6-6-0.
Blind River head coach and general manager Kyle Brick told Hockey News North that Hill “has been our heart beat this season since the moment he returned to town. Ryder continues to have a knack for scoring big goals at big times. A 200 foot player with the ability to control a hockey game, he exemplifies what it means to be a Beaver both on and off the ice.”
Through 100 regular season career games for the Beavers, Hill has 40 goals, 43 assists, 83 points. He also has one goal, three assists, four points in seven playoff outings.
