TUCSON - The Tucson Roadrunners, proud American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Utah Mammoth, announced today the signing of forward Jack Ricketts to a one-year AHL contract.

"After a strong Division I college career, we are eager to see what Jack can do as a pro," said John Ferguson, general manager of the Tucson Roadrunners.

Ricketts, 26, recently completed his five-year collegiate career with Quinnipiac University (2024-25) and Holy Cross (2020-24), where he compiled 114 points (66g, 48a) and 187 penalty minutes (PIM) in 158 career NCAA games.

After four seasons at Holy Cross, the Oakville, Ontario, native transferred to Quinnipiac ahead of the 2024-25 campaign and recorded 27 points (20g, 7a) and 47 PIM in 38 games with the Bobcats last year. Entering the season as the nation's leading active goal scorer (46), he posted a team and career-high 20 goals.

The 6-foot-1, 208-pound forward broke Quinnipiac's Division I single-game goal record with four goals against American International College on Dec. 29, including the first three of the game. He also registered a five-game scoring streak from Feb. 14-28 (6-2-8 during that stretch) and an eight-game point streak from Jan. 31-Feb. 28 (9-4-13 in that span). In addition to his scoring accolades, Ricketts earned the 2025 Eastern Athletic Conference (ECAC) Gladiator Best Defensive Forward award.

At Holy Cross, Ricketts tallied 87 points (46g, 41a) and 140 PIM in 120 NCAA games. During the 2023-24 campaign, he earned Preseason All-Atlantic Hockey honors, served as team captain for the Crusaders, and posted then-career highs across the board with 19 goals, 16 assists and 35 points in 39 games. He also served as an assistant captain in 2022-23 and was a two-time All-Atlantic Hockey Second Team selection in 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Prior to his college career, Ricketts played four full seasons of Junior A hockey in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) for the Oakville Blades (2016-20) and tallied 166 points (73g, 93a) in 207 career OJHL games.

He served as an assistant captain for the Blades during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, and led Oakville to the OJHL Buckland Cup championship, Dudley Hewitt Cup championship and a National Jr. A Championship appearance in the 2018-19 season.

In his final Junior A season, he ranked sixth in OJHL scoring in 2019-20 with 70 points (29g, 41a) in 51 games.
