Penguins Split Ruck Twins for Growth | NHL News

The Pittsburgh Penguins are testing a bold new strategy with the Ruck twins—Liam and Markus, 18-year-old hockey brothers drafted this summer. Separated for the first time at development camp, they’ve been inseparable since birth, eight minutes apart in 2008. While Liam, a first-round pick, and Markus, a second-round standout playmaker, hope to reunite in the NHL, they’re learning to thrive independently—crucial if injuries or trades pull them apart. Their chemistry is undeniable: Markus sets up Liam’s goals, and both dream of playing side by side. GM Kyle Dubas sees the split as a growth opportunity, focusing on strength and skill development. Through it all, their bond remains unshakable—supportive, competitive, and deeply committed to each other’s success.
