On April 13, Rizzo helped the University of Denver win its 10th NCAA national championship and its second in the three years he played for the Pioneers. Rizzo finished his junior season at the school with 10 goals and 34 assists in 30 games. He was also named an All-American for the second straight season.He also played for Canada’s entry at last winter’s Spengler Cup tournament in Switzerland where he scored two points in four games.
Rizzo was originally selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes, but he was dealt to the Flyers last August, along with a fifth-round selection in the 2025 draft in exchange for the rights to forward David Kase.
