Riley Damiani (born March 20, 2000) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Texas Stars in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career[]
Damiani played with the Mississaugu Rebels under 15 and 16 teams in the GTHL before he was selected in the 2016 OHL Priority Selection, 29th overall, by the Kitchener Rangers. Following his second season of major junior with the Rangers, Damiani was selected by the Dallas Stars in the fifth-round, 137th overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. On April 1, 2019, Damiani was signed by the Stars to a three-year, entry-level contract.[1]
In the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Damiani began his first full professional season assigned to Dallas' AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars. As a rookie, he registered a team leading 25 assists and 36 points through 36 regular season games and was selected to the AHL's All-Rookie Team. He was awarded the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award as the AHL's Rookie of the Year.[2]
Damiani remained with the Texas Stars in the following 2021–22 season, posting 18 points through 21 games before receiving his first recall to Dallas on December 14, 2021.[3] He made his NHL debut that night, scoring his first NHL goal, in a 4–1 defeat to the St. Louis Blues.[4]
