OTTAWA — Right now, Colin Greening prefers to talk pucks over books.

For most of his life, though, the Ottawa Senators prospect has been a master of both, his shelves overloaded with both academic and athletic awards.

Greening, 24, comes to the Senators from Cornell University, where he was an all-star on the ice, in the classroom and in organizing extracurricular activities. He served as captain of Cornell’s hockey team, scoring 15 goals and 20 assists in 34 games. He spearheaded fundraising to aid underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic. He completed his degree in applied economics and management with a 3.99 grade-point average, out of a potential high score of 4.0.
