Ryan Bradley Spooner (born January 30, 1992) is a Canadians professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing for Lausanne HC of the National League (NL). He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks. He was selected by the Boston Bruins in the second round, 45th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
On January 5, 2012, Spooner was then traded by the Frontenacs to the Sarnia Sting for Ryan Kujawinski.
Spooner made his NHL debut for Boston on February 6, 2013, against the Montreal Canadiens. Spooner was called up to the Bruins for the first time in the 2013–14 season on October 31, 2013. Playing against the Anaheim Ducks, Spooner assisted on a Carl Söderberg goal to record his first NHL point. Spooner scored his first career NHL goal on February 27, 2015, in overtime to beat the New Jersey Devils 3–2 in a Boston road victory. Spooner's first goal in regulation time came as the first Boston goal in a 3–1 road defeat of the Ottawa Senators on March 10, 2015, with Spooner also scoring a second goal in the same game.
On July 1, 2015, the Boston Bruins re-signed Spooner to a two-year, $1.9 million contract worth $950,000 annually.
On March 6, 2017, in a 4–2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Spooner suffered a concussion as he was caught with an elbow to the face by Senators' forward Viktor Stålberg, causing him to miss the next three games.
On July 26, 2017, Spooner and the Bruins avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract extension worth $2.825 million. Spooner scored his 100th NHL career assist on February 11, 2018, assisting on defenceman Torey Krug's second-period goal during a 5–3 victory over the New Jersey Devils.
With the Canucks in need of salary cap relief, Spooner was placed on unconditional waivers and bought out from the remaining year on his contract on June 30, 2019.
Following two seasons with Dinamo Minsk, Spooner left as a free agent continuing in the KHL in signing a one-year contract with Russian club, Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on May 11, 2021.
At the conclusion of his contract with Avtomobilist, Spooner returned for a second stint with Dinamo Minsk, signing a one-year contract on June 15, 2022. Following a return to a top scoring line role with Minsk, Spooner responded with career best of 19 goals along with 28 points for 47 points in 64 games.
Spooner continued his tenure in the KHL in the 2023–24 season, moving on a one-year contract to Russian club, Avangard Omsk, on August 6, 2023.
On August 16, 2025, after two seasons with Avangard, Spooner continued his career in the KHL by moving to newly rebranded Shanghai Dragons on a one-year contract for the 2025–26 season. On December 20, 2025 it was reported that Shanghai Dragons and Spooner have mutually agreed to terminate the contract.
