i don’t know much about mcgroarty but i do know that i love his fake sounding name

98% of what i know about rutger is that he's an american umich boy and although many of you seem to be very invested in umich i must admit i don't care. this is fine though

ANYWAY rutger mcgroarty IS a top tier American Hockey Player Name. many American Hockey Players have exceedingly fucking fake sounding names and this amuses me greatly

#asks #i think american ones specifically because hockey is WAY more niche in the us vs canada #so an average canadian hockey player (while definitely upper middle class) is solidly a normie b/c of just the cultural ubiquity #like any given Friends' Brother is a semi-serious hockey player #meanwhile in the us it's /generally/ a slightly more wealthy group who is also /generally/ more likely to name their kids something Diffren #either that or they're from michigan/minnesota (same Normie category)#(this is all my limited observation + conjecture)
