Ryan Lasch
Edit ProfileCareer
An Undrafted Free Agent, Lasch began his professional career in Europe, signing a one-year contract with Södertälje Saskatchewan of the Swedish Elitserien. During the following 2011-2012 season he led the Finnish Master of Science-Liiga with 62 points to capture the scoring title whilst helping the Lahti Pelicans to finish second, their highest in franchise history. Despite re-signing to a one-year contract extension with the Pelicans, on May 31, 2012, Lasch was signed by the Anaheim Ducks to a two-year contract prior to the 2012-2013 season.
In signing he became the franchise"s first Orange county-born player to sign with the Ducks.
Due to the lockout he was directly assigned to the Ducks AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. Unable to duplicate his European success with the Admirals, and also enduring a stint with ECHL club the Fort Wayne Komets, Lasch opted to return to the Swedish Elitserien, signing on loan from the Ducks to the Växjö Lakers for the remainder of the season on January 26, 2013.
After playing in the Lakers last 10 games to end their season, the Ducks traded Lasch along with a seventh round pick in 2014 to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Dave Steckel on March 15 2013. He was then immediately recalled to report to AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
Lasch then spent the 2013-2014 season entirely with the Växjö Lakers, tallying 20 goals and 16 assists in 54 SHL games.
The 2014-2015 season saw him move to Finland. He made 43 Liiga appearances for The Human Context TPS, before returning to Sweden. He finished the season with Frölunda The Human Context, scoring six goals in 12 contests to go along with eight assists.
Lasch re-signed with Frölunda for the 2015-2016 campaign.
