For the last couple of years former Ranger netminder Mike Richter has floated the idea of running for political office. Richter's personality and smarts would make him an ideal candidate. When asked about his political aspirations here's what Richter had to say...“I won’t say never,” Richter said to Adam Proteau at The Hockey News. “One of the things I felt strongly about was that I got paid because the fans came out to see us play and you feel you owe a debt to people in a way, and public service is a pretty cool way of getting it back. You can use some of your stature or political capital to put yourself in a position to do something useful. We’ve got a lot of problems in the United States right now, and we could use a lot of help in making things better than they are.”
...if Richter does decide to run for office I bet he'd have a long line of Ranger fans willing to volunteer for his campaign.
