Ryan Greene of Paradise makes NHL debut with Chicago Blackhawks
Greene skated for just under 13 minutes on Monday's game against Montreal
Ryan Greene added his name to a list of dozens of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to play in the NHL on Monday, suiting up for the Chicago Blackhawks while facing off against fellow Newfoundlander Alex Newhook and the Montreal Canadiens.
Greene skated for just under 13 minutes in Monday's game against Montreal, blocking three shots and winning three face-offs. Chicago won 4-3 in a shoot out.
Greene, 21, signed a three-year contract with the Blackhawks on Sunday. The team drafted him 57th overall in 2022.
He most recently played hockey at Boston University, where he helped his team reach the national championship. Greene was among an initial pool of 100 players nominated for the Hobey Baker award, a prize that goes to the top men's collegiate hockey player.
He is expected to stay with the team for its final game of the season against Ottawa Tuesday night.
Greene is among four active players from Newfoundland and Labrador playing in the NHL this season — joining Newhook, Dawson Mercer of the New Jersey Devils and Clark Bishop of the Calgary Flames.
