Ryan B. Fry is a Canadian curler currently living in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and playing third on the Brad Jacobs team. The team will represent Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Career
Fry was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 25, 1978.[1] Fry is a right-handed shooter and delivers "tuck" style. Fry skipped a junior men's team to the 1996 and 1997 Canadian Junior Curling Championships representing Manitoba. Fry skipped men's teams to the 2005 and 2006 Manitoba Safeway Select (playdown to the Brier) and joined Jeff Stoughton's team playing third for the 2006-07 season.
Fry qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics with the Brad Jacobs rink after defeating the John Morris rink in the final.
Fry accompanied the Stoughton rink to the 2007 Tim Hortons Brier in Hamilton where they lost the Semi-Finals to Glenn Howard's Ontario rink. Fry curled 85% in the round robin (second among thirds).
Fry left the Stoughton rink in 2008 to play for Brad Gushue's team in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Fry played with Gushue until moving to Sault Ste. Marie to play with Jacobs in 2012. Fry won the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankards with the team, and represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Briers. Fry won his first The Dominion Northern Ontario Men's Curling Championship in 2013 with Jacobs and will represent Northern Ontario at the Brier for the first time in 2013. This ties Earle Morris's record for most provinces represented at the Brier (at three). Fry won the Brier with Northern Ontario and represented Canada at the 2013 Ford World Men's Curling Championship where the rink won a silver medal.
Personal life
Fry's father is Manitoba legend Barry Fry, winner of the 1979 Brier, the Canadian Men's Curling Championship.[2]
Fry attended the University of Manitoba where he studied Business Administration.
