Richardson spent the past four seasons with the Clarkson Golden Knights in the NCAA’s ECAC conference. He worked his way up the lineup as a hard-working two-way forward. He became the team’s Captain during his senior year for the 2024-25 season and was honored as just the third Golden Knight to wear number 6, in the name of former Clarkson player Mike Morrison, for his hard work ethic and leadership skills on and off the ice.
Richardson started playing hockey at three years old. He grew up with two sisters just minutes from the Canadian Tire Center, making him a lifelong Ottawa Senators fan. He also cheers for Canada’s baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
He played almost his entire youth and junior hockey career with the Smiths Falls Bears in the CCHL, adding one year in the USHL with the Fargo Force during the 2021-22 season before entering college.
