Cameron Reid, a 19‑year‑old defenseman, capped his rookie season with the Kitchener Rangers by steering the club to its third Memorial Cup championship. The Rangers posted a 20‑2 record in the playoffs, and Reid contributed six points during the championship series, finishing the entire postseason with 14 points and a plus‑11 rating that earned him a place on the Memorial Cup All‑Star Team.
A New Chapter in Ann Arbor
Reid’s 56 points in the regular season came after he missed the first few games due to injury, but he returned with a strong mindset. He often credits his mental resilience and the mentorship of Nashville Predators captain Roman Josi for his rapid development.
Looking ahead, Reid will enroll at the University of Michigan for the upcoming academic year. He is eager to attend Predators Development Camp in the coming weeks, where he hopes to sharpen his physical play while preserving the speed and agility that have defined his game.
