ECHL Hockey VP of Business Operations Ryan Crelin
Check out the full episode here:
Ryan found his love of sports led to him to ECHL (AA Minor League Hockey)!
Ryan Crelin knew from a young age that he wanted to be involved with sports some
how. When it was time to goto college, he found himself at Seton Hall University
in New Jersey (his home state). While at Seton Hall he studied to be in sports
management.
Growing up his dad owned a family business, but Ryan’s dad wanted him to go and
live out his own dreams instead of staying in the family business. So Ryan found
a lot of encouragement from his family for pursuing his dreams of managing in
the sports arena.
He was lucky enough to be recommended to take an internship at the ECHL. Even
though the location for it was down in Princeton, New Jersey, Ryan took the
position two hours away and drove four times a week. Many times he wasn’t sure
if he would have enough gas money to get down there, but he pressed on.
Eventually Ryan saw the light at end of the tunnel working at the ECHL main
office, and all of his hard work and endless hours were starting to pay off. He
then continued to press with his MBA from Rutgers University.
Ryan encourages everyone to never stop learning and educating yourself. Even
when people want to look at you and judge, you show that you have the knowledge
to make them respect you.
Ryan is a good friend of mine, and I am really happy that he decided to come on
Dreamers Podcast to share his story. One thing I admire about him is the fact
that he isn’t afraid to be himself and not worry about what other people think.
As of Monday evening, Dreamers Podcast has been taken off of iTune’s New and
Noteworthy. The show continues to grow though, and I can’t thank all of my
listeners enough! Please keep the awesome emails, and reviews coming!
