Character

Riedell was voted as a team captain for the Buckeyes in his first year, one year after being an alternate captain at Lake Superior State. He helped lead the Lakers to a WCHA Tournament title and an NCAA appearance.

“How he’s shown up here since August – for a team to vote him into this position for being here two months that tells you what kind of individual he is. What he brings on the ice, off the ice, how he trains, reminds me a lot in a way of Tanner Laczynski. He shows up every day to be a pro. That’s how Riedell goes about his business.”
- Head Coach Steve Rohlik
