Ridly Greig

December 2020 – Testing positive for COVID-19 on November 8th, Grieg’s arrival at Canadian World Junior camp was delayed, and then it was over. Cut from the Canadian camp, Greig was always considered on the bubble for making the roster so the cut isn’t necessarily a surprise but it is unfortunate that he didn’t really get to make a mark on the camp or get much of a chance to steal a spot at the bottom of the roster. Grieg will look to be ready for the Brandon Wheat Kings training camp and the start of the WHL season in early-mid January. In what should be a big year for the Wheat Kings forward, Grieg will look to out COVID in the rearview as soon as possible, hopefully recovering to full health shortly as he was still experiencing some effects from the virus despite testing negative prior to his release.

October 2020 – Greig was drafted 28th overall by the Senators. Greig could push for an NHL job after two more years in the WHL.  Jokke Nevalainen

May 2020 – The speed and skill to keep up with the modern game and the tendencies of a pest that can frustrate opposing teams is what Greig brings. He sees the ice well and makes plays in the offensive zone utilizing his speed to create separation and back off defenders. He doesn’t hesitate from grinding a play out along the boards or battling a bigger defender at the net-front if it means his team gains an advantage. His compete level is consistently high and he never seems to stop running his mouth. Other teams will hate him but his team loves him. He finds space in the offensive zone to take advantage of the opposition’s defensive shortcomings. He projects as a middle-six scorer who will be a thorn in the side of the opposition. Tony Ferrari
