At the resumption of the 2014–15 season, Gregoire opted to return to North America as a free agent, signing a one-year contract with the Iowa Wild on October 14, 2014. He was initially assigned to the ECHL affiliate, the Alaska Aces, before regaining fitness and returning to the Wild.[4] Gregoire retired from hockey on September 8, 2015, and returned to college.[5]
