Internationally, Greenway has represented the United States at the 2017 IIHF World Championship and 2018 Winter Olympics, becoming the first African-American named to a US Olympic ice hockey roster.

Playing career

Greenway began playing hockey in the Canton, New York minor hockey association before going to play high school hockey in Minnesota at Shattuck-Saint Mary's [2] before joining the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (U.S. NTDP). As a member of the U.S. NTDP, he played the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL). Greenway's outstanding play was rewarded when he was invited to skate in the 2014 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game. [3]

After his selection by the Wild in the NHL Entry Draft, Greenway played his freshman season for the Boston University Terriers in the 2015–16 season. [4] In his Junior year, Greenway was selected to the Hockey East Third All-Star Team after reaching the 30-point mark for the second season. [5] [6] Greenway was also named to the Hockey East All-Tournament Team after the 2018 Hockey East Men's Ice Hockey Tournament along with teammates Jake Oettinger and Chad Krys. [7] On March 26, 2018, he signed a three-year entry level contract with the Minnesota Wild. [8] Greenway made his NHL debut the following day in a 2–1 loss to the Nashville Predators. [9] [10] Greenway played his first career NHL playoff game in Game 1 of the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Winnipeg Jets. [11] By doing so, Greenway became the first player to play in the Olympic Games, an NCAA tournament, and the Stanley Cup playoffs within the same season. [11] Greenway scored his first career NHL goal in the playoffs, in a 6–2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on April 15. [12]

Greenway began the 2018–19 season in the NHL but was reassigned to the American Hockey League after nine games to further his development. [13] The day following his demotion, Greenway recorded a hat trick in a 6–1 win over the Colorado Eagles. [14] Following his second AHL game, Greenway was recalled back to the NHL. [15] On October 29, in his first NHL game following his recall, Greenway scored his first regular season goal in a 5–2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. [16]

On January 31, 2022, the Wild signed Greenway to a three-year, $9 million contract extension. [17]

In the 2022–23 season, Greenway was in the midst of his worst statistical year, registering only 2 goals and 7 points through 45 regular season games, before he was dealt at the NHL trade deadline by the Wild to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for two draft picks on March 3, 2023. [18]
