Markus Ruck Rising NHL Draft Star

Markus Ruck Rising NHL Draft Star

Author: The Daily News Now! May 29, 2026 Duration: 1:52

Markus Ruck is skyrocketing up draft boards as a top-10 NHL prospect, leading the WHL with 108 points and becoming the first player in the league to hit the century mark. Known for his elite playmaking, relentless work ethic, and team-first mentality, Markus complements his twin brother Liam’s scoring with gritty, intelligent hockey that sets up teammates and dominates defensively. A gold medalist with Team Canada White and bronze medalist at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, he’s a complete package with high hockey IQ and elite vision. Teams like the Flames could land a game-changer who thrives in leadership roles and creates opportunities for others — and if he’s available later, he could be a steal.
