Playing as under-ager for AAA Stars helped Reid make U-16 team
AAA Stars defenceman Luke Reid is one of only two players from the final U-16 provincial roster who already had a full season of midget AAA under his belt heading into tryouts.
The 15-year-old from Warman, Sask., knows that helped him make the final team, which will compete in the U-16 Challenge Cup in Calgary from Oct. 18 to 23.
“It has just pushed me so much,” Reid said after Stars practice on Tuesday afternoon. “Great guys in the room and … they really help me mature as a hockey player and as a person in general.”
Reid likes to be a playmaker on the ice, looking up to NHLers Erik Karlsson and Drew Doughty.
