Perhaps best known for his decades with the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League, his efforts went further than just one club.
He was involved with the Belleville and Trenton Bobcats, the Quinte West Pack, and most recently the Tweed Oil Kings senior club.
He began as a “stickboy” before becoming an anchor behind the bench, which was 25+ years with the Bulls.
Rutledge was also well known in the horse racing community and worked for Steele Funeral Home for many years.
