The Wings chose to use one of their 3rd round draft picks this year to take goalie Keith Petruzzelli. At 6’ 6” 190 Pounds Petruzzelli is tall and lanky with an impressive wingspan, and even from the butterfly position is still shoulder height to the crossbar. The 18 year old right catching goalie got his start playing hockey when his older brother needed a goalie to shoot on. Why not stick your kid brother in net and fire pucks at him, that sounds fair right? Since forward D.J. Petruzelli introduced Keith to hockey, it’s only fitting that they’ll be reunited and playing together again at Quinnipiac University in a couple months.
