Milwaukee, WI — The Milwaukee Admirals announced today that they have signed forward Ryan Thang to an amateur try-out contract (ATO). A third round pick by the Predators in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Thang will join the Admirals as they commence a three-game roadtrip on Thursday night at the Texas Stars.

Thang recently completed his four-year career at the University of Notre Dame where he finished his senior season as the team’s second leading scorer with 23 points on nine goals and 14 assists. He totaled 115 points (57g-58a) and 161 penalty minutes in 159 career games. During his freshman campaign in 2006-07 the Edina, MN native led Notre Dame with 20 goals and helped them capture the 2007 CCHA Title and the following season he helped led the team to the NCAA Championship game where they lost to Boston College.
