Olympia (Rensselaer Athletics Student-Athlete Honor Society): “Riley’s growth and development at RPI has been truly impressive. He played only nine games his freshman year and became our leading scorer his junior and senior years and was named captain his senior year. This speaks to his resiliency and character. He was just as committed in the classroom as he was on the ice. He showed his teammates that, not only can you be successful on the ice, but you can be just as successful in the classroom. Riley will graduate with a degree in Industrial and Management Engineering.” - Assistant men’s hockey coach, Nolan Graham ‘03

On attending Rensselaer: "I wanted a good education and the history of the hockey program is outstanding. I wanted to be part of something special and everything about this place was amazing when I came on my visit. Also, this is the perfect distance from home." - September 2015

On benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "Friendships and the connections you have when you leave school. The academics and hockey life is second to none. Everyone has your back and is willing to do anything for you." - September 2016
