Personal

Riley Sheahan is the second cousin of Brock Sheahan , who is also a professional ice hockey player and also attended the University of Notre Dame.

In October 2012, during his time in Grand Rapids, Sheahan was found to be 3.0  per mille after the police saw him driving the wrong way and was subsequently arrested. He wore a Teletubby costume and had the driver's license of his teammate Brendan Smith with him so that he could still be served alcoholic beverages when he was 20.

In addition, the Canadian shows social commitment in the field of animal welfare , for example, he donates 100 US dollars for every scorer point that he scores in the 2014/15 season to an animal welfare organization in Michigan . He also started a program called “Rileys Rescues” ( Rileys Rescue ), in which he found abandoned animals from animal shelters.
