Greenbank was drafted 34th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft and 20th overall by the Cleveland Crusaders in the 1975 WHA Amateur Draft but never played in either league. Instead, he played in the American Hockey League for the Nova Scotia Voyageurs and the Central Hockey League for the Fort Worth Texans and the Oklahoma City Stars between 1975 and 1980.[citation needed]

In 1980, Greenbank moved to Austria to sign for VEU Feldkirch. He remained with Feldkirch right up until his retirement in 1992, playing thirteen seasons with the team. He became an Austrian citizen during his spell and became eligible to play for the Austrian national team, with whom he competed in the men's tournaments at the 1984 Winter Olympics and the 1988 Winter Olympics.[1]
