Headed for college
Ritchie will join Boston University ahead of the 2025-26 season, Jeff Marek of Sportsnet reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Ritchie lit it up in juniors this year, racking up 29 goals and 32 assists in 53 games with WHL Medicine Hat before adding another 18 points in 18 postseason clashes. Selected by the Wild in the second round of the 2024 NHL Draft, the 18-year-old will attempt to bring that scoring touch to a Terriers squad that came up short in the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey National Championship game in April. If he can score anywhere near his junior numbers, Ritchie won't complete a four-year commitment at BU.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Switching WHL clubs
Ritchie was traded to WHL Medicine Hat from Prince Albert on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ritchie was selected by the Wild with the 45th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft after racking up 44 points in 47 games for Prince Albert last season. Considering the Tigers gave up a prospect and two third-round picks for Ritchie, expectations will be high this upcoming campaign. While Ritchie will likely participate in Minnesota's training camp this fall, he almost certainly will return to juniors this year to continue developing his game. As such, Ritchie doesn't offer much fantasy value in redraft formats but should be in the mix for a stash spot in dynasty formats.
