One of the leagues most explosive
and exciting forwards, Greg Saliba proves that hockey isnt just a big mans
game. Possessing great speed and quickness, Greg often seems to be
dancing over the rink surface. He is always on the move, which is as much a tactic as an
instinct for survival -- you can't hit what you can't catch. Greg uses his speed to his
advantage and has an uncanny ability to stop on a dime and change directions leaving the
opposing defensemen bewildered, disoriented and often embarrassed. His ability to release
an unexpected accurate wrist shot has kept Greg atop both his teams and the
leagues scoring list. While on the power-play, his powerful, quick-release
slap shot and strong playmaking abilities make him a great quarterback and lethal threat
from the point. Greg is an effective penalty killer, getting the puck out along the boards
creating a quick turnover which most likely results in a shorthanded goal. He always has
his legs churning and uses all of the rinks surface providing his team w/ great
end-to-end play. Amazingly for his size, Greg is very strong in the corners deflecting
hits from bigger defensemen while drawing penalties and keeping the puck to himself with
mind-blowing footwork. His "sixth-sense" for finding open teammates and putting
an accurate pass on the tape is the reason why Greg has led his team in assists for the
past 3 seasons. Greg attributes a lot of his passing success to playing with very
talented linemates. "It's not that difficult when you're paired w/ a awesome
player like Frank Forray.", states Greg. "When
he's on the ice it's like magic! You've just gotta pass the puck in his general
direction and the next thing you know he's already put it top shelf! Wammo ...
thanks for easy point Frank!". Playing on the "Spin-O-Rama" line with
long time linemate James Ozenne, Greg hopes to capture the
teams title of "Spin-O-Rama King".
Away from the hockey rink Greg
enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, family and friends at his new home. A local at
Borrellis, you can find him there on the weekends enjoying dinner with friends and
afterwards, going crazy at an Atomic Punks gig. Whether its playing the guitar,
beating his buddy Dennis in billiards, sending Chris on a "bus-trip" while
playing ping-pong or blowing by James Ozenne with a puck deke through his legs at hockey
practice, Greg enjoys life to the fullest and looks forward to the arrival of each new
day. |
