Gregory Westlake (born 12 June 1986) is a Canadian ice sledge hockey player.

Early life and career

[edit]

Both his legs were amputated when he was 18 months old; because of a congenital defect, he had no tibia in one leg, and no fibula in the other.[1] At age six, he appeared in a public service announcement for The War Amps non-profit organization on playing safe, and is still close to the organization that provides support and services to all Canadian amputees.[1]

He began to play ice sledge hockey in 2001 at age 15, for the Mississauga Cruisers, then made his debut for the Canadian national team in 2003, eventually becoming captain of the team. He has won medals at the 2006 Winter Paralympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics. An accomplished golfer, he regularly competes in local club championships in his hometown and both introduced his older brother to the game and taught him how to play.[1]

He competed at the 2026 Winter Paralympics and won a silver medal, Canada's third consecutive silver medal in Para ice hockey at the Winter Paralympics.[2]

He is also the host of Level Playing Field, a television newsmagazine and interview series on disability issues in sports, for AMI-tv.[3]
