Liam Greentree (born January 1, 2006) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who plays for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect of the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 26th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2024 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

Greentree recorded 25 goals and 20 assists in 61 games for the Windsor Spitfires during the 2022–23 season. His 25 goals were the most amongst rookies, and that earned him an OHL First All-Rookie Team selection. During the 2023–24 season, he served as team captain and led his team in scoring with 36 goals and 54 assists in 64 games for the Spitfires. Following the season he was named to the OHL Third All-Star team.

Greentree was drafted 26th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2024 NHL entry draft. On July 20, 2024, the Kings signed Greentree to a three-year, entry-level contract. In the 2024–25 season, he had 49 goals and 70 assists in 64 games, helping the Spitfires to win the West Division title in the regular season. In recognition of his play, Greentree received the Mickey Renaud Captain's Trophy for "leadership on and off the ice," and was named to the OHL First All-Star Team. The Canadian Hockey League later named him to its Third All-Star Team for the year.

On February 4, 2026, Greentree was traded to the New York Rangers, as part of the deal for Artemi Panarin. At the end of the 2025-26 season, Greentree was named one of the four finalists for the Mickey Renaud Captain's Trophy, along with fellow Rangers' prospect Nathan Aspinall.

He began the 2026-27 season with the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. He scored his first professional goal for the Wolf Pack in a game against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on 10 October 2026.
