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]

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]
