Gregger McKeggegger

 

Gregger McKeggegger is a 6'5", now 23 year old left winger. The two-way forward is set to make his VHL debut tomorrow for the Los Angeles Kings. The young winger has already had quite the career spanning the VHLM, VHLE, and World Junior Championships. After a fascinating journey through the lower leagues, Gregger is ready to make the jump to the VHL and show the league what he's got. Now to look back at his career in the lower leagues to see if he has what it takes to make a difference in the big league.

 

VHLM

 

Gregger was drafted 9th overall to the Ottawa Lynx (After playing the end of S86 with the Philadelphia Reapers as a free agent). He did not wait long to make his impact and enjoyed immense success in a system and locker room that seemed tailored to him. Gregger dominated the league, finishing the 72 game season with 62 goals and 62 assists for a staggering 124 points. The team gelled together so well and there were many great memories for Gregger. He finished 5th in league scoring, tied for 2nd in goals, and was 10th in assists. McKeggegger has also displayed no hesitation to shoot the puck, as he led the VHLM in shots taken and had an average of 6.76 shots per game. He also had the clutch factor, tying the league lead for game winning goals with 14. Heading into the playoffs, Gregger continued his impressive scoring, and led the Lynx in scoring, finished 3rd league wide in playoff scoring, 1st in goals, 5th in assists, and shot even more with 7.18 shots per playoff game. All of this led up to the Ottawa Lynx lifting the Founder's Cup, Gregger McKeggegger's first trophy.

 

VHLE

 

After Gregger's success in the M, he was drafted 11th overall by the Oslo Storm in the VHLE. His first reaction is that he should have gone earlier. To prove everyone who passed on him wrong, he wanted to have another phenomenal season. It didn't start great though; he wasn't putting up a lot of points and was well behind a point per game. However, when things started to click, they really clicked. Gregger finished 8th in league scoring with 87 points and tied for 4th in goals with 40. He also continued to pile the pucks on net, even in the more difficult league, Gregger had 408 shots and 5.67 shots per game. He also continued to come in clutch and tied three others for third in the league in game winning goals (7). Oslo stepped confidently into the playoffs, even with playing their rivals the Cologne Express. After a hard fought 7 game series, the Storm made it to the finals and they took care of business. Gregger McKeggegger has won championships in both leagues he played in, in the one season he did in each. During the playoffs Gregger wasn't the top player on his team, but he still had 13 points in 13 games, and tied for the 4th most goals in the playoffs (6). The shots continued as well (5.46 shots per game). 

 

WJC

 

On a more worldwide scale, Gregger played for two years on the US world juniors team. In the first year, McKeggegger was a bottom of the lineup player, only contributing 2 points in the first 14 games, and then in the playoffs he had just one assist. However, the US went on to win gold, and Gregger went home with some bling. Then the S88 world juniors came along, and Gregger was hyped to be involved. He was a top line player and did not disappoint. In the US's amazing regular season, Gregger had 17 points in those 10 games. Unfortunately, the US lost in the semifinals, with McKeggegger nowhere to be found. Their journey wasn't over however, the bronze medal game was still to be played, and what a game that turned out to be. In a wild matchup against Canada, the US went down two goals heading into the third when suddenly, the team (and McKeggegger especially) clicked. He started off the period getting an assist to cut the deficit to 1. Then with just over 5 minutes to go, he scored a power play goal and tied the game. Then in overtime, Gregger McKeggegger was the US hero, potting the bronze medal winning goal.
