Potsdam native Jordan Greenway was the 50th player overall and a second round selection during the 2015 NHL Entry Draft in Sunrise, Florida by the Minnesota Wild.
“Everyone dreams of being in the NHL draft one day and now that I’m here and been picked, it’s just unbelievable,” Greenway said.
The former three-year Shattuck St. Mary’s prep school and two-year USNDTP product is heading to Boston University this fall.
“It was great—a milestone in my career,” he said about the Development Program. “They helped me out a ton, do a lot of NHL video and they kind of help you establish an NHL game. Overall I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
He had five goals with 15 assists and was a +15 in just 22 games this past season.
“I really like the city of Boston and coach (David) Quinn is a very respected coach with pro experience and I think he will help me out a lot in the next few years.
“The OHL is a good route for some people and college is a good route. I like school, I do pretty well in school and having something to fall back on is my mentality.
“I was put on skates at a young age, fell in love with the game and here’s where I am now.”
