Ed Ronan grew up in North Andover, Massachusetts. As a young child he became interested in hockey but never thought he would pursue it seriously, let alone achieve the fame of the NHL and recipient of a Stanley Cup Ring. Nevertheless, he continued to play steadily throughout high school and college, improving his performance dramatically over the years that followed. Soon, becoming a professional player became his dream.

From "Average" to "Outstanding!"
"I was never the best player on any of the teams I played, but I always wanted to be the best. I had to perfect the "little things," such as proper technicalskating. Perfecting these "little things" allow a player to develop the more difficult skills that are critical if you are to continue playing hockey at the higher levels. This approach got me to the National Hockey League, where I later earned the distinguished honor of a Stanley Cup Ring."

"Wayne Gretzky's well-placed hook wasn't
enough to slow Ed and his Montreal
teammates down."

After graduating from Boston University in 1991, Ed signed on with the team that drafted him out of high school, the Montreal Canadians. During his second pro year, 1993, he helped the Canadians defeat Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals. In 1995 he moved on to play with the Winnipeg Jets and, in 1996, joined the Buffalo Sabres.

To Raise the Cup It Takes Peak Performance
"Hoisting the Stanley Cup across the forum ice is a moment I will never forget. It was a dream come true. I know what it takes to achieve the seemingly unachievable." |
