The USA defeated Canada Quebec, 5-3, in the bronze medal game. Greenway committed to attending Boston University in 2015-16 in January 2014.

Future
Greenway made a smooth jump from the USA NTDP to college hockey as an 18-year-old in 2015-16, skating in all 39 games for Boston University as a freshman. The Terriers were one of the top teams in college hockey before struggling in the post-season. With top scorers Daniel O'Regan (SJ) and Ahti Oksanen graduating there will be a need for players like Greenway to be team leaders in 2016-17. He is also a candidate to skate for the USA at the 2017 World Juniors. Greenway's combination of playmaking ability, size and technical skill suggests he can be a first or second line forward.
