Sounds like Ruzicka could be yet another 4th round diamond in the rough.

“His willingness to compete and win battles and win pucks, to keep plays alive, has just been phenomenal,” praised Sting assistant coach David Legwand, a veteran of 16 NHL seasons and an ideal mentor for a young centre hoping to reach that same level. “If he keeps continuing to compete, the numbers are going to keep coming and the goals are going to keep coming, and it’s going to be great for him.”

Not just for him.

Sting head coach Derian Hatcher — another longtime NHLer — told the CHL’s official website the staff in Sarnia think Ruzicka “was an absolute steal for the Calgary Flames in the fourth round.”

Certainly, that’s what Treliving & Co. are hoping.

“He’s taking advantage of his skills because he’s competing on a real consistent basis, and he’s seeing results because of it,” Treliving said. “He’s learning to do that regularly, and if he can continue, that’s good for him and good for us.”
