'''Greg Bullock''' is a Canadian retired ice hockey center who was a two-time All-American for Massachusetts–Lowell.<ref name = AHCA />

==Career== Bullock began attending the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 1993 and immediately made an impact with the ice hockey team. Bullock led the Chiefs in scoring, helped the team post a Division I program record with 25 wins and was named Hockey East Rookie of the Year. Lowell reached the conference championship game for the first time and won its first game in the NCAA tournament since promotion to the top level. Bullock continued his high production as a sophomore, earning a spot on the All-American first team, but the results weren't there for the newly rechristened River Hawks. Lowell finished with a losing record and then suffered a greater loss when Bullock signed a professional contract after the year, ending his college career.

He debuted for the San Francisco Spiders the following year, putting up decent numbers as a rookie. The following year Bullock was nearly a point per game player for the St. John's Maple Leafs over the course of the entire season, but was unable to earn a callup to the parent club, Toronto Maple Leafs. After splitting his third pro season between two AAA clubs, Bullock headed to Europe for a time.

He returned after a stellar, though brief, performance with HC Fassa, but then bounced around between three teams before travelling to England. Bullock's globetrotting continued for several years but by 2004 he arrived in North America for good. Even then, however, he found himself on a new team every year until 2008 when he seemed to find a home with the Flint Generals. After being named team MVP and an alternate captain, Bullock's team got off to a horrendous start in 2009. Just 22 games into the season, Bullock was released from his contract and his professional career came to a close.<ref>{{cite news|title=Flint Generals release veterans Greg Bullock, Tyler Willis |url=https://www.mlive.com/generals/2009/12/flint_generals_release_veteran.html |work=Michigan Live |date=December 17, 2009 |accessdate=October 21, 2021}}</ref>

The next season he was back on the ice, however, this time playing for the Brantford Blast, a senior team near his hometown. He spent four years with the team, helping them win back-to-back J. Ross Robertson Cups before hanging up his skates in 2014.
