Gregory James Joly (born May 30, 1954) is a Canadian former ice hockey player who played nine seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Washington Capitals and Detroit Red Wings. He won the 1974 Memorial Cup with the Regina Pats[1] and the 1981 Calder Cup with the AHL's Adirondack Red Wings.

Joly was drafted first overall in the 1974 NHL amateur draft by the Washington Capitals from the Regina Pats. Washington's general manager, Milt Schmidt, referred to Joly at the time as "the next Bobby Orr",[2] but over his nine seasons playing with Washington (1974–76) and the Detroit Red Wings (1976–83), Joly spent parts of seven seasons on the American Hockey League (AHL) farm teams of those two organizations. After playing 365 National Hockey League (NHL) games over the course of those nine seasons, Joly played his final three years of professional hockey in the AHL.[2] He is considered to have been a draft bust.[3][4][5] Joly scored the last goal at Detroit’s Olympia Stadium.[6]

Joly was born in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
