Ryan Hollweg

Ryan Hollweg is an American professional hockey player, currently playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League.

Prior to his NHL career, Hollweg played for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League, starting in 1999. He was drafted 238th overall in the 2001 NHL draft by the New York Rangers. He split the next few seasons between the WHL and with the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In 2005, Hollweg made his NHL debut, playing 52 games with the Rangers that season. On April 20, 2007, Hollweg signed a contract extension to stay with the Rangers.

Holloweg was involved in an incident on March 8, 2007. He checked the New York Islanders left wing Chris Simon into the boards head first. Simon retaliated by swinging his stick at Hollweg's face, causing a chin laceration that required stitches. Simon was suspended for 25 games from the cheap shot, as the NHL deemed it a deliberate act.
