Video Description:
Colby Cohen and Jonny Lazarus are joined by Team USA World Junior captain Rutger McGroarty to talk about his teams gold medal performance in Sweden, facing his USA teammates in collegiate play, how his family has helped him along the away, an unexpected text he received following the gold medal victory, and a particular hit that did a lot for his confidence.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
