Dartmouth College 2021/2022 commit defenseman Ben Ritter(2) agreed to the college as he was heading to his first year at The Loomis Chaffee School.
The Pittsford, NY native had kept his hockey close to home until this move to play USHS-Prep.
In his first year, he scored a modest goal and 4 assists, but took that up nicely as a senior with four tallies and 16 helpers in 31 games and a New England Championship.
The 5’11” 185 lbs. blue liner moved on to junior hockey, originally tendered by New Jersey Jr. Titans, but that experiment lasted all of 4 NAHL games before he next signed on to play for a team he was once selected by in a draft, South Shore Kings.
He seemed to find his space in this league, getting 2 goals and 4 assists in 41 USPHL/NCDC games for an off and on 2020/2021 COVID-busted season.
It did go to playoffs though, and in 3 matchups, he came away with a goal.
The 19-year old, more stay at home style d-man will likely answer any call given.
