"The Chicken Parm Is Pretty Good", Will Cuylle On Living With The Trochecks

The Hockey News talked to Will about his new living arrangement and what he's learned from Vincent.

Tarrytown, NY: Will Cuylle is 21-years-old. That is no longer a shocking age for an NHL player.

What is shocking is he was selected 60th overall in the 2020 draft. In a league full of top draft picks of razzle-dazzle highlights, Cuylle was chosen for the opposite reason, his no-nonsense approach.

The Toronto native's journey to the show began last year in Hartford, where he posted 25 goals and 45 points in 69 games. He said, "It's nice to have other people around. Last year I lived alone in an apartment," he continued, "It was in Bloomfield right outside of Hartford."

After bullying his way onto a loaded New York Rangers roster, Cuylle needed a place to live. The Trocheck family took him in. Cuylle stated, "I feel close with Troch', but everyone here with the Rangers has made me feel part of the team."

He already has a favorite meal from Vincent's wife, Hillary, "The chicken parm is pretty good."

For Cuylle, he's happy to have a home, picking up on his billet homeowners practices, "It definitely helps. Obviously just being a player it's been so much for so long. I like seeing what he does away from the rink, picking up on the little things."

He also stated how Vincent is vocal, "He likes to talk. He's even being pretty loud right now. He's a loud guy."

Cuylle is making a name for himself at the professional level. He has 3 goals this season, including a game-winner against the Carolina Hurricanes on November 2nd. He also posted a 5-hit game against the Detroit Red Wings on November 7th, where he also scored a goal.

He has a home whether that is the ice surface at Madison Square Garden or the Trocheck residency.
