There he received a contract with SaiPa Lappeenranta from the Finnish SM-liiga . He was then selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2000 in the ninth round as a total of 269th player by the New York Rangers . Initially, however, the right-handed shooter stayed with SaiPa in Finland for another year before he was called to North America by the New York Rangers towards the end of the 2000/01 season . There he scored a goal in 30 games and was a template for New York's farm team , the Hartford Wolf Pack from the American Hockey League . During the 2001/02 season he returned to his Czech homeland, where he received a contract with HC Sparta Prague . With the capital city, he won the championship at the end of the season .

The following season he did not start again in Sweden, but at HC 05 Banská Bystrica in the Slovakian Extraliga in order to receive a tax-relieved six-month contract. He started the 2009/10 season again in his home country at HC Pardubice, but moved to HC Kometa Brno after seven games . After eleven games of the 2010/11 season Richter was suspended by Kometa Brno and later loaned to HC Oceláři Třinec . With this he won the Czech championship title at the end of the 2010/11 season .

In the 2012/13 season he was again active for HC 05 Banská Bystrica. Between 2013 and 2015 he was under contract with KH Sanok , with which he won the Polish championship title in 2014. In 2015 he ended his career.
