Richards is from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and began his career working for the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> organization. He worked with the Penguins\u2019 AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins from 2002 to 2013.<\/p>\n

After over a decade in the AHL, he was promoted to assistant equipment manager for the Penguins. He remained there from 2013 to 2016, and was part of the staff for the team\u2019s Stanley Cup run in 2016.<\/p>\n

After the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, he departed for the Panthers.<\/a> He has been the Panthers\u2019 equipment manager since the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n

He has been with the team for both of its Stanley Cup championships in 2023-24 and 2024-25.<\/p>\n

While with the Penguins, Richards worked with head coach Mike Sullivan, who was the head coach for Team USA in both the NHL\u2019s 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025 and the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games.<\/p>\n

Richards was the team\u2019s equipment manager for both of those Team USA squads, with his connection to Sullivan helping him land the role.<\/p>\n
