Greg McKegg (born June 17, 1992 in St. Thomas , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the New York Rangers in the National Hockey League since July 2019 and plays there on the position of the center .
Career
youth
Greg McKegg was born into a family of ice hockey in St. Thomas. His father played for the Sudbury Wolves and at the University of Windsor , while his uncle, Lou Fontinato , made it into the professional field and played over 500 games for the New York Rangers and the Canadiens de Montréal in the National Hockey League ( NHL). In his youth, McKegg played for the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs and the St. Thomas Stars , among others , before he was selected in the 2008 Priority Selection of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in second position by the Erie Otters . Thus, the center ran at the beginning of the 2008/09 season for the Otters in the OHL and came there as a rookie on 18 points scorer in 64 games. He also represented his home country internationally for the first time when he won the gold medal at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2009 with the U17s from Canada . In the following season 2009/10, his draft year, the Canadian increased his personal statistics significantly to 85 points in 67 games, so that he represented Canada at the U18 World Cup in 2010 and then in the NHL Entry Draft 2010 in 62nd position the Toronto Maple Leafs was selected.
After another year in the OHL, in which he had led the Otters as team captain , the Maple Leafs equipped him with an entry contract in April 2011 and then sent him to their farm team , the Toronto Marlies , in the American Hockey League for two assignments (AHL). In the subsequent pre-season, McKegg could not earn a place in the AHL squad, so he returned to the OHL for another season. However, he only spent this in Erie until January 2012, when he was given to the London Knights in an exchange deal comprising several players and draft options . With the Knights, the center forward won the playoffs for the J. Ross Robertson Cup at the end of the season and thus also took part in the Memorial Cup , in the final of which, however, the team was subject to the Cataractes de Shawinigan .
NHL
McKegg then moved permanently to the organization of the Maple Leafs and spent the 2012/13 season completely with the Marlies in the AHL, where he scored 23 points in 61 games. With a more than doubled point yield (47 in 65 games), this was also the case for the following season 2013/14, with the exception that the Canadian made his debut for the Maple Leafs in the NHL in February. After another year in Toronto, in which only three more NHL appearances followed, the Maple Leafs gave McKegg, whose contract was expiring anyway, to the Florida Panthers in June 2015 and in return received Zach Hyman and a success-based seven-round suffrage for the NHL Entry Draft 2017 .
The Panthers extended the contract with the attacker by one year in July 2015, in which he was used in 15 NHL games, but still mainly in the AHL, with the Panthers' farm team, the Portland Pirates . After another contract extension by one year in the summer of 2016, McKegg established himself as part of the preparation for the season in the NHL squad of the Florida Panthers and from then on was regularly used there.
In February 2017, however, the attacker should be sent back to the AHL via the waiver , although he was signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning . There he ended the season, but received no further contract, so he joined the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent in July 2017 . However, the attacker gave them to the Carolina Hurricanes at the trade deadline in February 2018 and received Josh Jooris in return . He was active there for almost a year and a half before moving to the New York Rangers as a free agent in July 2019 .
