ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - When the Ottawa Senators took to the ice for their morning skate at Mile One Centre Monday morning, a couple of veterans prodded forward Colin Greening to centre ice to lead the team stretch.
It’s a bit of a position of honour and with Greening back in his hometown, veterans Chris Neil and Matt Carkner gave the local kid some recognition in front of a couple of thousand fans on hand for the morning workouts by the Senators and the Winnipeg Jets in preparation for the annual Kraft Hockeyville game.
“The guys were nice. Carker and Neil were like, ‘get in the middle.’ They realize how big this is for me,” said Greening, the 25-year-old second-year pro. He played 24 games with the Senators last season after being called up from Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League following the Senators’ roster purge and is a good bet to earn a regular spot this season.
