Colin Peter Greening (born March 9, 1986) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Greening is a member of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL), who drafted him in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
While playing for Upper Canada College, Greening was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the seventh round (204th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Greening played four full seasons at Cornell University without missing a single game, serving as captain in his junior and senior year and being selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.[1] He was the first sophomore to serve as alternate captain under coach Mike Schafer.[citation needed] At Cornell, Greening played on a line with another future-NHL forward, Riley Nash.
After graduating from Cornell in 2010, Greening joined the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League (AHL), the affiliate of the Ottawa Senators. He made his NHL debut on February 1, 2011, in a game in Newark, New Jersey versus the New Jersey Devils. On March 3, 2011, Greening scored his first National Hockey League goal against the Atlanta Thrashers in a 3-1 Ottawa victory. On May 19, 2011, Greening was signed to a 3-year, one-way contract by the Ottawa Senators that will pay him $700,000 in 2011-12, $800,000 in 2012-13, and $950,000 in 2013-14.[2][3]
On January 12, 2012, Greening was selected to participate in the NHL YoungStars Game which coincided with the 2012 All-Star Game held in Ottawa.[4] He finished his rookie season with 17 goals and 37 points while playing in all 82 of Ottawa's games.
During the 2012 NHL Lockout, Greening spent time with the Aalborg Pirates of Denmark's AL-Bank Ligaen.
On September 9, 2013, Greening signed a 3-year, $7.95 million contract extension that will pay him $2 million in 2014-15, $2.75 million in 2015-16 and $3.2 million in 2016-17.[5]
