With ambition to play in the NHL and despite passing through the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Hugg was selected 94th overall at the 2017 CHL Import Draft by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).{{cite web| url = http://kitchenerrangers.com/article/kitchener-rangers-receive-player-commitment-from-rickard-hugg | title = Rangers receive player commitment from Rickard Hugg | publisher = Kitchener Rangers | date = 24 August 2017 | accessdate = 24 August 2017}}
He played two seasons in North America with the Rangers, contributing offensively with 73 points in just 62 games in the 2018–19 season.
On 16 April 2019, while still draft eligible Hugg opted to return to Sweden to continue his development, agreeing to a two-year contract with Skellefteå AIK of the SHL.{{cite web| url =https://www.skellefteaaik.se/artikel/t64jajujn-5n5bi1/valkommen-rickard-hugg | title = Welcome Rickard Hugg! | publisher = Skellefteå AIK | date = 16 April 2019 | accessdate = 16 April 2019 | language = Swedish}}
