ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — When news spread that the Ottawa Senators were going to be participating in the 2011 Kraft Hockeyville event in Newfoundland, there's little doubt nobody was happier than Sens forward Colin Greening.
Greening, who burst onto the scene in Ottawa last season with 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in 24 games, grew up five minutes from the Mile One Centre, where the Senators will face the Winnipeg Jets tonight (4 p.m., CBC, Team 1200). Never could he possibly have fathomed that he'd ever get to play an NHL game in front of family and friends in his hometown, but thanks to Conception Bay South's triumph in the Kraft Hockeyville competition, Greening is about to have an unforgettable experience.
He'll also have a wonderful opportunity to thank his family for all the sacrifices it made so he could follow his dreams.
