Matthew J. Gilroy (born July 20, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for Spartak Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Gilroy formerly played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators and the Florida Panthers. He played NCAA hockey with Boston University of the Hockey East conference. Gilroy is a former Hobey Baker Award winner and NCAA champion with the Terriers in his senior year; he is also a three-time All-American.
After a junior career in the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) with the Walpole Jr. Stars (currently known as South Shore Kings), Gilroy joined the college hockey ranks with Boston University of Hockey East in 2005–06. Making the team as a walk-on, he was a natural forward but was forced into the eighth defenseman position, the only available role on the team. After his third college season, Gilroy attracted attention from the NHL as an undrafted free agent, but had intentions of completing his degree at Boston University.
