Rihards Melnalksnis ist ein lettischer Eishockeyspieler, der auf der Position des Stürmers spielt. Bereits in jungen Jahren wechselte er in die Schweiz, wo er eine fundierte Ausbildung durchlief und sich zu einem technisch versierten und kampfstarken Spieler entwickelte. Mit seiner Spielintelligenz, Schnelligkeit und seinem Offensivdrang machte er sich vor allem in der Swiss League einen Namen. Durch seine Schweizer Lizenz gilt er dort nicht als Ausländer, was ihm zusätzliche Einsatzmöglichkeiten verschafft. Auch international sammelte er Erfahrung im Trikot der lettischen U20-Nationalmannschaft.
