Here's an article on Ryan Culkin.

“Playing for Patrick Roy (in the QMJHL), I think he emphasized work ethic and that has stuck with me throughout my career,” Culkin said prior to Sunday's pre-season date with the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.
“I was so privileged to work with him for three years. He really pushed me hard. I'm here, and a big part of that is thanks to him.
“Every time he comes to the rink, you could see it in his eyes — he wants nothing less than perfect.”

On Friday, the 6-foot-2, 195-lb. rearguard faced off against the Sedin twins in Vancouver — “That was pretty cool.”
On Sunday in the Mile High City, Culkin was on the opposite bench as Roy, his head coach for three campaigns with the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts and the winner of the Jack Adams Award last season after accepting the top job in Colorado.
“Patrick has always played basically the same system and I did, so for Ryan, the adjustment is kind of very easy,” Hartley said. “I like what I see from Ryan. Talking about the body language, talking about the composure out there ... Here's a young man that I think has progressed, has gained muscle weight a lot through the last two seasons. That's the reason he's still with us.”
