Last month the Rangers announced the signing of a player few of us knew. It was Minnesota-Duluth forward Justin Richards. The 22-year old center who was undrafted will start his professional career next season. I spoke with the newest Ranger to ask about hockey and why he chose the Blueshirts.
As the son of current Tampa Bay Lightning asst coach Todd Richards, Justin has traveled around a lot as a kid. Born in Orlando, FL, the Richards family moved to Geneva when Justin was just 2 years old, where his dad finished his playing career in the Swiss National League.
