“Off the ice, he is going to bring character and maturity to our young group of players. We look forward to seeing Cam develop in a Ranger uniform.”

Reid, who was born and raised down in Aylmer, moved down to the U.S. two years ago to play for the Bishop Kearney Selects, where he recorded 143 points in 176 games.

He is expected to be in town this weekend when the Rangers hold their developmental camp at the Aud.
