We continue into the single digits with a kid whose name makes him sound like he could be a bad guy in a Mighty Ducks movie, Griffin Reinhart. Here’s the thing about Reinhart, he’s huge. Also, he’s pretty good at hockey. Last season, in 58 games for the WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings, Reinhart put up 12 goals and 24 assists to go along with 38 penalty minutes and a plus-23 rating. The first place Oil Kings carved their way through the WHL playoffs en route to defeating the Portland Winterhawks in the finals. In 20 postseason games, Reinhart put up 2 goals and six assists with 20 penalty minutes and a plus-14 rating.
Reinhart does not have a lot of international experience, though he did skate for Team Pacific at the 2011 U17 World Hockey Challenge. In six games for the third place finishers, Reinhart scored 1 goal to go along with 6 assists. He also played for Team Canada at the 2011 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. While the team finished with a gold medal, Reinahrt did not score any points though he did play in all five of the team’s games.
