Professional career

MLL

Powell has played in Major League Lacrosse since 2001. He played for the Rochester Rattlers from 2001 to 2005, and the San Francisco Dragons in 2006 and 2007. In 2001 Powell earned MVP for the 2001 MLL season. In 2006, Powell was awarded both the Major League Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Year Award and the MVP. He is the only lacrosse player to receive the MVP award twice. Prior to the 2008 MLL season, the San Francisco Dragons traded Powell to the Denver Outlaws in exchange for draft picks.[1] He, Casey, and Mike all sat out for the 2009 MLL season, as they did not report to their respective teams by the contract deadline.[2] This was Ryan's first season sitting out, while it was Casey's second, and Mike's third.

NLL

Powell also plays indoor lacrosse in the National Lacrosse League with the Boston Blazers.
