Matthew
Greene is a talented hockey player who played over ten years in the National
Hockey League and won Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and
2014.
He was also
successful in high school and his University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux was
an NCAA Championship finalist in 2005.
He was honored with selection to the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association All-Academic team in 2004 and 2005.
Matthew
Greene thanked Bob Every and the hall for his induction. He noted that a common thread from every
previous inductee presentation was passion.
(He was the final person to accept his induction.)
He thanked
his family and friends. When he was sixteen,
his parents allowed him to move from Grand Ledge to Detroit to participate in
Junior Hockey. He played all over the
world and got a great experience. He
learned to be responsible and to be a good teammate.
He
encouraged the audience to continue to work to provide athletic experiences to
young people. It makes a difference in
many lives!
(During his presentation, he mentioned following Roy Kramer, who is a dynamic speaker and worried that his presentation didn’t stand up. I can assure him that he did fine!)
