In his three full seasons plus 15 games to open the 2022-23 season, Stuart has combine to play 161 games for the Fighting Saints. Good health provided, by the end of the season, Stuart will surpass Keegan Ford (197) for the most games played in franchise history.
"Riley arrived in Dubuque four years ago as a young player finding his way into the league," said Fighting Saints GM and President of Hockey Operations Kalle Larsson. "After this season, he will leave as one of the longest tenured Fighting Saints ever. His leadership qualities, team first attitude, and relentless work on the ice will be missed. We are happy and proud that Riley will continue his career at Colorado College. His qualities as a player and person will have an impact on their program from the day he sets foot on campus."
