One On One With Pittsburgh Penguins Prospect Rutger McGroarty

Nov 14, 2024

FloHockey recently sat down with Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Rutger McGroarty, currently playing for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL, for a wide-ranging conversation about his rookie season in professional hockey.

McGroarty talks about his whirlwind summer, being traded from the Winnipeg Jets to the Penguins, walking into a dressing room with Sidney Crosby and the many Pens stars, making his NHL debut, his "Welcome To The NHL" moment, and what he needs to work on now that he's in the AHL.

And, yes, we asked McGroarty what he made of those "Where Is Rutger?" chants in Winnipeg earlier this season.
