\nAJ Greer (@ajgreer_10<\/a>) d\u00e9ment les rumeurs qui l’envoient aux #Huskies<\/a>. Discussions avec son agent et sa famille, mais rien de plus. #LHJMQ<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Guillaume Lepage (@GuillaumeLepage) December 17, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
Roughly translated, Greer has denied rumors of him joining the QMJHL.<\/p>\n
Jeff Cox of SB Nation also was tipped about Greer’s intentions.<\/p>\n
\nIt could change but I’m being told by 2 reliable sources that BU does not expect AJ Greer to leave school. Another drawn up Q media stunt.<\/p>\n

ORIGINAL:<\/p>\n
RDS in Canada has reported the Boston University forward A.J. Greer has left the team and the NCAA to play in the QMJHL with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.<\/p>\n
Greer, who had scored one goal and recorded four assists this season was, according to the RDS report, “dissatisfied with his use.” The sophomore forward is a prospect of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche after being drafted in the second round of the 2015 entry draft. Two other Avs prospects play for the Huskies.<\/p>\n
Further reports suggest Greer will be in Rouyn-Noranda as early as tomorrow night to meet his teammates. His addition will add more depth to the Huskies, who are looking to claim top honors in the QMJHL this season.<\/p>\n
Other reports have stated that Boston University is not aware of this decision by Greer, however several players on the Huskies have tweeted welcomes to Greer.<\/p>\n
A report on the Rouyn-Noranda website <\/a>reads:<\/p>\nThe Qu\u00e9becois power forward Anthony John Greer, who played at the Boston University will finish the season with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies . <\/span><\/p>\nAn 11th round choice of the Huskies in 2013 , Greer, 19, measures 6’3″. He was selected in the second round ( 39E ) by the Colorado Avalanche draft pick in 2015 . <\/span><\/p>\nGreer will be in Rouyn-Noranda by the end of the week. It is too early to know whether he will be in uniform face the Val d’Or Foreurs.<\/span><\/p>\nSeveral Rouyn-Noranda players and fans have tweeted welcoming Greer to the team.<\/p>\n
