context_page_description: Colby Genoway is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He is currently an unrestricted free agent who most recently played for Kölner Haie of the German Deutsche Eishockey Liga.
context_section_description: Genoway made his National League A debut playing with HC Lugano during the 2010–11 NLA season. At the end of that season, he signed a three-year contract with Lausanne HC as they were still playing in the second tier National League B. They went on to win the National League B title and to get promoted in April 2013, upsetting SC Langnau Tigers in the promotion-relegation game, after many unfruitful attempts including 2 promotion-relegation games lost to EHC Biel over 8 years spent playing in second division. That year, Genoway was also nominated for the Best National League B Player 2013 award at the Swiss Golden Player Award ceremony in Basle, Switzerland.
  In the 2013–14 season, he tallied 26 points in 42 games  and contributed to LHC clinching a playoff spot in the Swiss elite league for the first time in the club's history. They went on to push the top seed ZSC Lions to a seventh game that LHC lost 1-0 in Zurich. Genoway got two assists in that series. On March 27, 2014, Lausanne HC announced that Genoway's contract had been automatically renewed after the promotion in April 2013. On April 2, 2014, the club released a statement regarding the state of the current contracts and additions to the roster for the 2014/15 season. That statement confirmed that the promotion had actually granted Genoway a 2-year extension to his deal (and not only one as previously stated).
  Genoway played his first game of the 2014/15 season on November 11, 2014 after a long wrist injury that necessitated surgery. He played 6 games in a row (while Ossi Louhivaara and Juha-Pekka Hytönen were sidelined) before getting injured again. When Daniel Bång suffered a concussion, Genoway got to play a seventh game and scored his first point of the season (an assist) in the win over Biel (3-2) on January 25, 2015. On February 20, 2015, he scored his first (and only) goal of the season, once again against Biel in yet another 3-2 win. As Bång's injury proved to be season-ending, Genoway also got to play most of the 7-game playoff series against Bern. LHC ended up losing that close matchup 2-1 in overtime in the deciding game. Interviewed by local newspaper 24 Heures during the  2014/15 playoffs, Genoway said that he'd like to stay at the club until the end of his contract in 2016 but not as a fifth wheel among imports (behind Hytönen, Bång, Louhivaara and Harri Pesonen) as was the case at the time.
