Elliott Groenewold

July 2025 – At first glance, 12 points in 38 games for a defensive minded defenseman in his first NCAA season playing for Quinnipiac seems like a decent result for Groenewold. There were four defenseman on the team that had about the same point total, but Groenewold scored the most goals out of the group. Additionally all the other defenders are at least two years older than him – which is actually pointing towards some sneaky offensive upside to go along with the physicality that Groenewold brings to the table. With the influx of OHL defenders crossing over to the NCAA for Quinnipiac in 2025-26, it will be interesting to monitor Groenewold’s offensive progression as he could be molding into a physical, two-way top four defender for the AHL level within three to four years.
