One of the greatest goalies of all time and a hero of the 1994 Stanley Cup-winning team, Richter retired from the New York Rangers in 2003.

Raised outside of Philadelphia, Richter played in the World Junior Championships in 1985 before playing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He only lasted for two years before getting quickly snatched up by the New York Rangers, where he spent the duration of his career. For the first few years he played second string goalie behind John Vanbiesbrouck, but in 1994, when Vanbiesbrouck was traded to the Canucks, Richter was promoted to full-time, where he helped the team win its first Stanley Cup since 1940. He was consistently rated one of the best goalies in the league, known for his lightning-quick reflexes. However, by the late ‘90s, a series of victories and mediocre seasons led Richter to his retirement—but not until he recorded 300 career wins, which was a Rangers record. After he retired, he went attended Yale University's competitive Eli Whitney Students Program, a program designed for non-traditional students. He's since gone on to found Healthy Planet Partners, a high powered sustainable finance and consulting group, and has acted as an NHL Ambassador. [Image via Getty]
