Biography

edit

As a youth, Koehler played in the 1989 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Toronto Marlboros minor ice hockey team.[1] Ken Dryden devoted the second chapter of his 1989 book Home Game to Greg Koehler and his parents when he was the 13-year-old captain of the Marlboros. The chapter, entitled, Playing fields of Scarborough, focuses on the dreams and stresses of players and family in youth hockey.[2]

Koehler was named to the All-Hockey East Rookie Team in the 1996–97 season.[citation needed] His lone game in the NHL was on December 29 with the Carolina Hurricanes during the 2000–01 NHL season, having played a single shift of four seconds.[3]
