A Bond Forged on Ice
Liam Ruck and his twin brother Markus have never spent more than a day apart, a closeness that has defined their lives on and off the ice.
Standing 5‑foot‑11 and weighing 175 pounds, Liam led all rookie skaters with 25 goals during the 2024‑25 season, while Markus posted a 104‑point campaign that placed him second in the WHL regular‑season scoring race.
Their performances have earned them notable rankings: Liam sits 20th among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting report, and Markus is close behind at 23rd.
Looking Ahead to the Draft
Central Scouting Director Dan Marr praised Liam Ruck, describing him as a player with offensive tools and instincts that set him apart.
Both twins have taken interviews with NHL teams separately and together, and they openly discuss the possibility of joining the same franchise, echoing the path taken by the Sedin brothers.
As the 2026 NHL Draft looms on June 26, the brothers acknowledge they are in a waiting game, hopeful that their shared dream will materialize.
