Renwick also played for the Notre Dame Hounds of the SJHL; he scored 27 points (11G, 16A) in 42 games in 2018-19.
Because of multiple injuries to regular roster players, prospects Rutger McGroarty and Ville Koivunen were recently re-called to Pittsburgh for their 1st tastes of NHL action.
Fans can now include Renwick among the group of intriguing prospects that now call the Penguins organization home.
