Tim Ryan is in his 15th season as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer for the Anaheim Ducks. Over the last 14 years, he has successfully led the Ducks' business efforts to record growth, while initiating numerous community, fan-friendly and youth hockey programs that have increased the popularity of the sport in the Southern California market. Ryan has served more than 27 years at Honda Center and has more than 41 years in arena management and event creation experience. In addition to his duties with the NHL club, he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Anaheim Arena Management, LLC (AAM), the management company of Honda Center. In his role, Ryan oversees one of the premier entertainment and sports venues in the world. Over the years, Honda Center has repeatedly ranked among the top 10 arenas in the world for annual live entertainment. Ryan has also led significant efforts in renovations around Honda Center, assuring it remains one of the world's top-of-the-line sports and entertainment venues, while continuing to elevate the live game experience. Currently, the arena seating is in the process of being replaced with the second phase completed in July 2019. Through strategic planning, creative business development and event production, Ryan ensures Honda Center is consistently booked with the world's top names in live entertainment and world-class sporting events. Since the start of 2019, the venue hosted acts such as KISS, P!NK, Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Real Street Festival, Marc Anthony, and more. In August, Honda Center hosted its first ever music festival featuring A$AP Rocky, Cardi B, Migos, Miguel and Meek Mill with over 41,000 in attendance over the two-day event. Since 1993, more than 41 million people have been entertained at Honda Center, enjoying over 4,000 events. As Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer of the Anaheim Ducks, Ryan oversees all business operations of the professional hockey team. He assumed his current dual roles on June 20, 2005 when the Ducks were purchased by Dr. Henry and Susan Samueli, owners of AAM. In each of the last two years (2018 & 2019), the Ducks were named a finalist for Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year by ESPN. The award "represents a sports club/team that demonstrates how teamwork can create a measurable impact on a community or cause." The club has also been continually recognized by ESPN The Magazine in its annual "Ultimate Standings" edition for successes both on and off the ice. The magazine has recognized the Ducks as a top franchise among 122 professional sports teams (NHL, NFL, MLB & NBA), ranking in the top eight three times. In August 2016, J.D. Power also recognized the Ducks as the top franchise in Southern California with respect to overall customer satisfaction. Ryan has spearheaded several initiatives in conjunction with the Samuelis, including charitable programs that support over 250 nonprofit organizations annually, a team foundation that supports the community in the areas of education, youth hockey and health and wellness, and an expanded grassroots marketing program. Funded by the Anaheim Ducks Foundation, S.C.O.R.E. (Scholastic Curriculum of Recreation and Education), the club's education-based youth hockey program, has reached over 400,000 school children since 2005. The Ducks also have a 7,000-member Kids Club, the largest in the NHL. In 1992, after a long career at the Long Beach Arena, Ryan joined the then-Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim (operated by Ogden Facility Management) as Assistant General Manager. He was promoted to General Manager in 1998 and was named Pollstar Magazine "Facility Executive of the Year" for 2001. During that time, Ryan was also charged with overseeing a number of other Ogden facilities and served as a consultant on various major entertainment projects. Near the end of 2003, the management contract for the arena was purchased by AAM, and Ryan was named President/CEO of both the company and the arena. Ryan is active in both the entertainment industry and in the local community. He serves on the boards of several nonprofit groups, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, Orange County Sports Council, Los Angeles Sports Council, Orangewood Foundation, and the Stars and Stripes Tournament. Ryan graduated from California State University, Long Beach in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in Finance. He lives with his wife, Michele, in Huntington Beach and enjoys golf, fly-fishing and travel.
