Ryan Hartman's story
Born on Hilton Head Island and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Ryan Hartman started skating at three and spent his youth with several Chicago-area minor teams, most notably the Chicago Mission where he won multiple state titles and played alongside future NHLers Nick Schmaltz and Vinnie Hinostroza. At 15 he joined the USA Hockey National Team Development Program and moved to Ann Arbor, using every available surface to sharpen his shot.
Hartman committed to Miami for college hockey but opted instead for major junior, joining the Plymouth Whalers for 2012–13. His season in the OHL, an appearance at the CHL Top Prospects Game and international junior outings put him in first-round draft contention; the Chicago Blackhawks selected him 30th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Chicago signed him to an entry-level deal in November 2013 and Hartman made his NHL debut in February 2015. He established himself in the league with the Blackhawks, posting 19 goals in 2016–17 including a hat trick in January 2017. Trades sent him to Nashville in February 2018 and then to Philadelphia in February 2019. After a short stint in Dallas’s roster moves, Hartman signed with the Minnesota Wild as a free agent on July 1, 2019, later agreeing to multi-year extensions with the club.
Internationally, Hartman represented the United States at the 2012 IIHF U18 Championship, contributing to the team’s gold medal, and played at the World Junior Championships in 2013 and 2014, finishing with a gold in 2013.
On the ice Hartman plays with a physical edge: he is a forward who leans into contact, competes along the boards and around the net, and is most often deployed in a bottom-six role where his willingness to engage opponents and create second-chance opportunities defines his contributions.
