'''Michael R. Greenlay''' (born September 15, 1968) is a [[Brazil]]ian-born [[Canadians|Canadian]] former [[ice hockey]] goaltender. Greenlay played two games for the [[Edmonton Oilers]] in 1989–90. He was a successful amateur player who spent most of his pro career in the [[Minor ice hockey|minor leagues]].

Greenlay was born in [[Vitória, Espírito Santo|Vitória]], [[Brazil]] and raised in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]].

Greenlay was selected 189th overall by Edmonton in 1986 out of the Calgary AAA Midgets. He then played parts of three years at [[Lake Superior State University|Lake Superior State]]. He was a member of the [[Lake Superior State Lakers men's ice hockey|Lake Superior State Lakers]] [[1988 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|1988 NCAA Championship]] men's ice hockey team. Early in the 1988–89 season, he left the Lakers to suit up for the WHL's [[Saskatoon Blades]]. Greenlay helped the squad reach the [[Memorial Cup]] final and was named the top [[goaltender]] at the tournament and an all-star.

Besides his two-game stint with Edmonton, Greenlay excelled for two years with the AHL's [[Cape Breton Oilers]]. He also toiled in the [[ECHL]] and [[International Hockey League (1945–2001)|IHL]] before [[retiring]] early in the 1995–96 season. In 1994 Greenlay shared the [[James Norris Memorial Trophy (IHL)]] with [[Jean-Claude Bergeron|J.C. Bergeron]] for allowing the fewest goals in the IHL. He also led all [[play-offs|post-season]] goalies in wins while helping the [[Atlanta Knights]] win the [[Turner Cup]] in 1994.

Greenlay provided color commentary for the [[Minnesota Wild]] until 2020 when his contract expired.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nelson |first=Joe |title=Wild introduces new announcers for 2019-20 hockey season |language=en |work=Bring Me The News |url=https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-sports/minnesota-wild-tv-radio-broadcasts-will-feature-new-announcers-this-season |access-date=2023-08-07}}</ref>
