At Dartmouth: Chaytors enters his junior season as a serious threat to opposing goaltenders. After an injury-shortened freshman year, Chaytors exploded with 16 goals and 12 assists last season, placing him third on the Big Green scoring list. Chaytors recorded his first collegiate hat trick against St. Lawrence (1/18). He scored two goals and had three assists in a weekend series at Colgate and Cornell (11/15-11/16). Chaytors also had a four game point scoring streak (11/29-12/30) where he netted six goals and added two assists. His freshman season was shortened due to a broken hand that was suffered during practice. Ryan notched his first collegiate goal in the loss to defending national champion Boston University (12/12).

High School: Chaytors played two seasons of junior hockey with the Calgary Canucks before enrolling at Dartmouth. In both seasons he was named to the AJHL All-Star team and in 1994-95 he captained the Canucks to the Centennial Cup Championship.

Personal: Ryan's favorite athlete and boyhood idol is the Detroit Red Wings' Steve Yzerman because of Yzerman's similar size. Ryan also likes that Yzerman is a role model on and off the ice. Ryan thinks that Vermont's Gutterson Arena is the toughest rink to play in the ECAC because "the rink is so big and the fans are sometimes overwhelming."
