One of the young players who joined the Blackhawks’ NHL roster at the end of the 2024-25 season was center Ryan Greene, who got to the party later than others because he was playing in the Frozen Four for the third time in as many years.
After a terrific career at Boston University that ended with him serving as a co-captain for the Terriers, he made the move to the professional ranks for two games to close out the regular season. That brief experience helped him prepare for his first professional training camp.
“It made the environment a more comfortable place for me to come into,” Greene said. “Getting to know all those guys over that little stretch of time that I was there was huge for me to be able to come in here and feel comfortable and be comfortable in doing what I do. And getting to play at that level and see what the pace is like at the NHL level was big for me as well and trying to prepare to come to camp.”
Greene joked that he feels “old” in his first pro training camp because younger players who were playing in juniors were able to attend in previous years. He laughed that some younger guys have been to two or three NHL camps already, but he’s just getting into his first this year.
New Blackhawks approach
Even though Greene felt more comfortable coming into camp after a little taste of the NHL at the end of last season, he’s doing it with an almost entirely new coaching staff in Chicago. The Blackhawks retained Anders Sorensen, but he’s now an assistant on the staff of new head coach Jeff Blashill.
A number of the young players have talked about how they feel in the camp thus far, and Greene said some of the same things: the pace has been high, and the practices have been physical. But he feels the skills he brings to the table fit well with what the new Blackhawks coaches want from their roster.
“They want players that are detailed,” Greene said. “They want players that compete and can play fast, and I think one of my best attributes is my speed. And I like to play a 200-foot game that’s responsible and detailed, so I think it could fit in well that way.”
Like so many of the players the Blackhawks have added to the pipeline since Kyle Davidson assumed the role of permanent general manager in Chicago, Greene’s fast and plays an all-around game. And he’s shown leadership qualities; I’ve already noted that he was a co-captain last year in college.
Greene has been viewed by most as a potential bottom-six center because he plays that 200-foot game. He was trusted in a lot of different situations while at Boston University and played a steady game as a responsible center.
But Greene has shown good hands during training camp and a better shot than many had given him credit for because of the role he’s been considered for. He thinks there’s more to his game than just being locked into a checking-line role.
“I think I definitely have more to offer offensively,” he said. “I think I do get viewed as predominantly a defensive player when I think I do have a lot of offense to my game as well. But it’s up to me to prove that to people and that’s what I’m obviously going to try to do going forward.”

I asked Greene about his likely replacement at Boston University being another Blackhawks prospect, incoming transfer Sacha Boisvert. Not only is Boisvert likely slotting into Greene’s old spot in the lineup, but he’ll be wearing the same No. 9 that Greene did for the Terriers.
“I think he’s going to enjoy it,” Greene said. “There’s nobody else I’d rather have that number than him. I got to see him over the summer a little bit when he was at BU and I was there training and we grabbed lunch and whatnot. He’s an awesome player. One thing I would say is just maybe win the national championship this time, don’t lose it. I’ll be following him all year.”
Boisvert will eventually — at the end of the coming season? — join a nice run of recent Terriers to make the jump to the Chicago Blackhawks. Greene follows Drew Commesso and Alex Vlasic into Chicago.
