Wild prospect Ryder Ritchie ponders his hockey future

Wild prospect Ryder Ritchie, a forward, signed a one-year contract and is deciding his 2025-26 hockey destination while headed home to British Columbia.
The 2024 lawsuit and rules change reopened American college hockey to Canadian major junior players, making college an option for Ritchie, who had previously considered it.
During his three seasons in the Western Hockey League, Ritchie maintained an average exceeding one point per game and was part of a Medicine Hat squad that ultimately placed as the runner-up in the Memorial Cup tournament.
Ritchie said, "I'm still kind of looking at my options" and that he needs to "think things through and talk to my family," without setting a final decision deadline.
Ritchie's choice highlights the impact of the recent NCAA ruling and could influence his future with the Wild, who hope he eventually plays in St. Paul.
