Ryan Talsma was a member of the Redeemer Royals men's volleyball program for four seasons. He was a three-time CCAA All-Canadian and ended his career as the OCAA's all-time points and kills leader.

Named OCAA Rookie of the Year and a Central West/West Division Second-Team All-Star in 2006-07, Ryan helped lead Redeemer to a berth at the OCAA championship that season. He earned his first OCAA Central West/West Division First-Team nod the following year, along with being named a CCAA All-Canadian for the first time averaging 5.49 points per set.

Ryan was named an OCAA West Division First-Team All-Star in 2008-09 along with a CCAA All-Canadian repeat. His final season was the most memorable, however, helping deliver Redeemer's first-ever men's OCAA league sport medal as the Royals won bronze in 2009-10. Ryan reached 300 points that season, and was once again named a OCAA West Division First-Team All-Star and CCAA All-Canadian, along with being recognized as an OCAA Championship All-Star and OCAA Male Athlete of the Year.

Ryan ended his OCAA career with 907 points and 719 kills, both league records at the time. He is also a three-time Redeemer Male Athlete of the Year.
