Ridly Greig's story
Growing up in Lethbridge, Alberta, Ridly Greig developed through the Western Canadian junior ranks before earning a spot among top prospects. The Brandon Wheat Kings chose him eighth overall in the 2017 WHL bantam draft; after seeing limited action in 2017–18, he established himself in 2018–19 with 14 goals and 35 points in 63 games. The pandemic disrupted the next two seasons, yet Greig managed 26 goals and 60 points in 54 games in 2019–20 and followed with 10 goals and 32 points in 21 of 24 games during the shortened 2020–21 campaign. Entering 2021–22 he was named the 66th captain in Wheat Kings history and finished that season with 26 goals and 63 points in 39 games, adding five playoff points in Brandon’s first postseason during his tenure.
Selected 28th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Greig signed a three-year entry-level contract on 30 December 2020. His first NHL training camp included a two-game suspension for an illegal cross-check. He joined Ottawa’s AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, at the close of 2021–22 and then began 2022–23 in Belleville before earning a recall to Ottawa in January 2023.
Greig made his NHL debut on 25 January 2023 and registered an assist in that game; his first NHL goal came 19 February 2023 versus St. Louis. After being sent back to Belleville and later recalled, he finished the 2022–23 season with two goals and nine points in 20 NHL games, complementing 15 goals and 29 points in 39 AHL contests. He made Ottawa’s roster out of training camp for 2023–24, suffered a high ankle sprain that cost him ten games, and returned on 4 December to skate on the third line; he had a two-goal game on 16 January 2024 and ended the season with 13 goals and 26 points in 72 games.
Greig signed a four-year extension with Ottawa on 10 January 2025. That season he played 78 games, scored 13 goals for 34 points, and made his NHL playoff debut on 20 April, scoring his first postseason goal as Ottawa bowed out in six games. In 2025–26 he totalled 13 goals and 35 points in 77 games; Ottawa were swept in the first round and he posted one assist. Internationally, Greig was part of Canada’s gold-medal squad at the 2022 World Junior Championship despite a quarter-final injury that sidelined him, and he made his senior debut at the 2024 IIHF World Championship, appearing in five games as Canada placed fourth. His style is characterized by hard work down the middle, physical engagement on the bottom two lines and a knack for drawing attention and penalties.
