Siblings: Justin and Matt Greene + bonus Matt Greene
Haven’t managed to finish editing a game as planned, so substituting a “sibling” post. Justin and Matt Greene both played for the Boston College Eagles and Matt wore the A during his senior season when the Eagles won the 2008 National Championship. Justin Greene is still out on the ice – just as an official rather than as a player. Boston Globe article from March 2009 on Justin Greene.
Special bonus gallery – current Los Angeles King and former University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux Matt Greene (HockeyDB.com lists 3 “Matt Greene”s, but the third profile is blank and I assume an error).
North Dakota did play Boston College in two games in 2004-05, UND Matt Greene’s junior and final collegiate season and BC’s Justin and Matt Greene’s first season, but I don’t seem to have the latter game which I shot online.
Siblings (or not) – Michigan/Under 18s
Two current Wolverines who previously played on the Under-18 team have younger brothers relatives on the National Team Development Program’s 2009-2010 Under 18 team. Neither younger brother player has committed to Michigan – Bryan Rust has committed to Notre Dame while Austin Czarnik is afaik currently uncommitted. Note: I was sloppy and screwed up – Austin and Robbie Czarnik are cousins, not brothers (thanks Chris!). Oops!
