The Anaheim Ducks announced this week that they have locked in left wing A.J. Greer to a four‑year contract that will run through the 2029‑30 NHL season, a move that secures the veteran’s services through the prime of his career.
A Deal That Extends Beyond the Ice
Greer arrives after helping the Florida Panthers capture the 2025 Stanley Cup, a triumph that capped a season in which he set career‑highs across the board with the Panthers.
During that campaign he posted personal bests in points, goals, assists, plus/minus rating, shot volume and ice time per game, underscoring his ability to contribute in every situation.
Across 326 regular‑season appearances with several NHL clubs, Greer has compiled 81 points, a +18 rating and 448 penalty minutes, numbers that reflect both his offensive spark and his willingness to defend his teammates.
His durability is further highlighted by 278 AHL games in which he amassed 195 points, a testament to his consistency across North America’s top developmental league.
Greer’s reputation extends beyond the rink; he was honored with the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award in 2016‑17 for his extensive community work, a distinction that reflects his commitment to giving back.
Born in Joliette, Quebec, Greer’s hockey journey began in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he starred for the Rouyn‑Noranda Huskies before moving on to a two‑year stint at Boston University, where he recorded 12 points in 55 NCAA games.
Selected by the Colorado Avalanche in the second round of the 2015 draft, Greer has since navigated a path through multiple NHL teams, ultimately landing with the Ducks, who view him as a cornerstone for building a competitive roster.
With the contract now in place, the Ducks hope Greer’s blend of championship experience, offensive versatility and community leadership will help steer the franchise back to contention as the 2029‑30 season approaches.
