Greig was selected for Team Canada's roster for the 2022 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He distinguished himself in the early going, being named the team's best player in two of four group stage games.[3][4][5] He then suffered an injury in the first period of the quarter-final game against Team Switzerland, as a result of which he missed the remainder of the tournament, considered a significant loss for the team.[6] However, Greig shared in Team Canada's eventual gold medal win.[7]
His father Mark Greig played nine seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Hartford Whalers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers.[8] Of note, he has two sisters named Kyra and Dara, who joined the University of Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey program in the autumn of 2019.[9]
