Summary
The Pittsburgh Penguins pulled off a dream draft twist by selecting twin brothers Liam and Markus Ruck back-to-back—22nd and 39th overall. Rare for twins to be drafted so close, especially by the same team, the brothers stayed calm through the chaos, with Liam reassuring Markus everything would work out. Their mom, Nina, celebrated in gold—now her favorite color—and the twins lit up after a call from Sidney Crosby. Offensively gifted, Markus led the WHL in points last season, Liam right behind him. Both are headed back to the WHL for another year before joining North Dakota in 2027-28. A story of family, grit, and hockey dreams coming true.
