McKegg Takes His Game to Italy

Greg McKegg is heading to Italy, another reminder that a pro hockey career rarely follows a straight line once the NHL and AHL doors start closing. The former Penguins forward has been around long enough to know that a new league can mean a new role, a bigger opportunity, and maybe a little more puck time than the North American grind usually allows. Moves like this often say as much about fit as they do about talent, and McKegg is betting on a better fit abroad.
