Kristen Richards is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on July 4, 1992 in Toronto, ****. Kristen Richards (born July 4, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. She currently plays for the Markham Thunder of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL), and prior to that played NCAA Division I hockey for Niagara and Robert Morris.
On a team level, the Purple Eagles’ 2010–11 season got off to a slow start, as NU was just 3–12–3 in early December. Things turned around a little from there, as subsequent unbeaten streaks of six games and four games helped Niagara finish second in the College Hockey America (CHA) standings with an 8–6–0 league record. However, third-seeded Syracuse abruptly ended the Purple Eagles’ season in the CHA semifinals. Richards, for her part, was selected to the CHA’s all-rookie team in recognition of her strong freshman season.
Shortly after the conclusion of the 2011–12 season, Niagara announced that it would immediately discontinue its women’s hockey program, forcing Richards and other members of the team to either transfer or continue studying at NU without playing hockey.
For the 2011–12 season, Niagara changed coaches, with assistant Josh Sciba promoted to replace the departed Chris MacKenzie. Meanwhile, Richards had quickly become considered a central part of the young team’s offense, along with Jessica Hitchcock and Jenna Hendrikx. Although the Purple Eagles started the year 0–4–0, things abruptly turned around on October 14, 2011 against RPI, when Richards scored twice – the second coming on a penalty shot in overtime after she was hooked on a breakaway – to help NU to its first win of the year and the first win of Sciba’s head coaching career. The come-from-behind effort set off a hot streak, as Niagara went 7–2–5 over a 14-game span to climb to 7–6–5 overall after a tie with Ohio State on December 2, 2011. While that turned out to be the pinnacle of NU’s campaign – the Purps finished the regular season 10–15–8 overall and a third-place-worthy 3–6–3 within the CHA – Richards continued to demonstrate an aptitude for big, dramatic goals. On January 21, 2012 at Syracuse, she banged home a 5-on-3 advantage tally late in overtime to beat the Orange by a 2–1 count. Two weeks later, at Mercyhurst, Niagara found itself facing third-period deficits of 2–1 and 3–2, but Richards answered each time, the latter with just 12 seconds remaining, to force a draw with the fifth-ranked Lakers.
Richards skated for the Mississauga Jr. Chiefs of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), serving as the team’s captain in 2009–10, when she posted 47 points in 33 games. The Chiefs were one of the top programs in both the PWHL and the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) with Richards on the team, winning the OWHA’s gold medal to conclude the 2008–09 season. Additionally, Mississauga enjoyed top-three finishes in the league or association in 2007–08 (bronze medals for both the PWHL and OWHA) and 2009–10 (PWHL silver medal, OWHA bronze medal). Notably, Richards’ Chiefs teams included future Thunder teammate Sarah Edney, future Robert Morris teammate Thea Imbrogno, and other future NCAA and professional players like Emily Pfalzer and Jenna Dingeldein.
