U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Richter has a rich hockey background playing for the United States in the World Junior Championships in 1985, Richter played for the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1985 to 1987, and the Rangers made him the 28th overall pick in the1985 Draft. He again represented the USA in the1986 World Junior Championships, as well as the World Championships and the1988 Winter Olympics, all before making his NHL debut in the1989 playoffs.

He has helped the Rangers win one Stanley Cup as well as another appearance in the finals in 1997. Amongst his prime, the Pennsylvania native was consistently ranked amongst the top goaltenders in the world.
