Winnipeg Jets Top Prospect Rushed To Hospital After Suffering Brutal Injury
The Winnipeg Jets rising star, Rutger McGroarty, chosen 14th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft, is making waves at the University of Michigan. However, Friday night's clash against the University of Pennsylvania Quackers took a dark turn.
In the third period, Quackers' Reese Laubach delivered a hefty check, sending McGroarty airborne, crashing into the boards and injuring his tailbone and lower back. Wolverines' staff, led by athletic trainer Brian Brewster and defenseman Jacob Truscott, utilized a stretcher to escort McGroarty off the ice.
Coach Brandon Narauto shared a post-game update, revealing McGroarty had been rushed to the emergency room. The extent of his injury remains uncertain. Despite the setback, the 19-year-old prospect showcased his talent with 6 goals and 18 points in 13 games this season.
On the opposing side, Laubach, a seventh-round pick for the San Jose Sharks in the 2022 NHL Draft, has notched 2 goals and 4 points in 11 games.
