Gregor was born on July 28, 1998, in Beaumont, Alberta[1] to parents Colin and Elise.[2] He was born into a hockey-involved family as his father played four seasons in the Western Hockey League[3] while his uncle was a radio host for The Sports Network until TSN 1260 was shut down in June 2023.[4][5] Likewise, his brother Liam played hockey with the Beaumont Chiefs and Spruce Grove Saints.[6]
Growing up, Gregor played in the Beaumont Minor Hockey Association[7] and Albert Midget Hockey League (AMHL).[3] While playing for the Leduc Oil Kings Bantam in the 2013–14 season, Gregor led the AMHL with 21 goals and 30 points through 35 games.[3] Gregor was selected in the third round, 55th overall, by the Victoria Royals in the 2013 WHL bantam draft,[8] the same franchise that his father played for.[9]
Gregor returned to the Oil Kings for the 2013–14 season. On January 6, 2014, the Royals traded Gregor's rights to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for Travis Brown.[10] He began the 2014–15 season with the Warriors, recording six points through eight games before breaking his collarbone. He managed to return for two more games in late December, but reaggravated the injury and missed the remainder of the season.[11] During the 2015–16 season, Gregor was selected to represent Team Cherry in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.[12] He finished the season with 28 goals and 73 points to earn the team's Most Sportsmanlike Player and Rookie of the Year Award.[13] Gregor also accepted the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year Award.[14]
Gregor returned to the Warriors for the 2016–17 season. Prior to the season beginning, he was named an alternate captain alongside Tanner Jeannot and Josh Thrower.[15] On December 11, Gregor - alongside a 2018 eighth round pick - was traded back to the Royals in exchange for Ryan Peckford and a 2018 fourth round pick.[16] He finished the season with 65 points in 60 games split between the two clubs.[17]
On July 25, 2018, the Royals traded Gregor to the Prince Albert Raiders.[18] He recorded 88 points in 63 games for the club during the 2018–19 season. The Raiders were awarded the Ed Chynoweth Cup as league champions after defeating the Vancouver Giants in seven games.[19] Gregor recorded 24 points in 23 postseason games. The Raiders, however, were unsuccessful in winning the Memorial Cup.[20]
Gregor was selected in the fourth round, 111th overall, by the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 2016 NHL entry draft.[21] On April 6, 2018, the Sharks signed Gregor to a three-year, entry-level contract.[22] He subsequently joined the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, skating in one postseason game.[17]
On October 19, 2019, Gregor played in his first career NHL game in a 4–3 loss against the Buffalo Sabres.[23][24] On November 29, Gregor scored his first career NHL goal in a 4–1 win against the Los Angeles Kings.[25] He split the 2019-20 season between the Sharks and Barracuda, skating in 28 games for the Sharks and 25 games for the Barracuda.[17]
On September 13, 2021, the Sharks re-signed Gregor to a one-year, $750,000 contract extension.[26] He spent the entirety of the 2021–22 season with the Sharks, recording 23 points in 63 games. On August 22, 2022, Gregor signed a one-year, $950,000 contract extension with the Sharks.[27] On April 1, 2023, Gregor recorded his first career hat-trick in a 7–2 win over the Arizona Coyotes.[28] He finished the 2022–23 season with 17 points in 57 games. Gregor was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Sharks following the conclusion of the season, making him an unrestricted free agent.[29]
On September 6, 2023, Gregor agreed to a professional tryout offer with the Toronto Maple Leafs to attend their training camp.[30] On October 10, the Maple Leafs signed Gregor to a one-year, $775,000 contract.[31] In his first game for the team on October 11, Gregor scored the Maple Leafs' first goal of the season in an eventual 6–5 win over the Montreal Canadiens.[32] On March 24, 2024, Gregor suffered a high stick to the face by Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson. He suffered no injuries aside from multiple chipped teeth. Wilson was suspended six games for the action.[33] He appeared in 63 games with the Maple Leafs, scoring six goals and 12 points.[34] He made his Stanley Cup playoffs debut in Game 6 of the Maple Leafs' first round series against the Boston Bruins.[35] He also appeared in Game 7 as the Maple Leafs were eliminated by the Bruins.[34][36] A restricted free agent at season's end, Toronto did not tender him a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent.[34]
On July 1, 2024, Gregor signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Ottawa Senators.[37] He scored his first goal with the Senators shorthanded against Andrei Vasilevskiy in a 5–4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on October 19.[38]
