History

2006-07: Reaves hit personal highs in goals, assists, and points. While contributing more offense than typical, the gritty right winger also provided his trademark physical play. Reaves was a strong defensive presence, and killed penalties as well. He won the Wheat Kings Unsung Hero Award as recognition for his abilities that don’t always show up on the stat sheet. In the playoffs, Reaves had five points in 11 games, as well as 19 PIM.

Talent Analysis

Reaves is a textbook role player. He isn’t a flashy skater or nifty stickhandler; instead he focuses on aspects of the game like physical play and grinding it out in the corners. He has good size and strength, as well as an athletic background. His father played with Winnipeg in the Canadian Football League. Reaves possesses a good work ethic and attitude, and is the type of player who can lead by example.

Future

He has turned pro for 2007-08, and will likely spend the season in the minor leagues.
