MONTREAL – After spending the last two seasons in the pro ranks overseas, Martin Reway is ready to bring his game to North America.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Canadiens announced that they’d agreed to terms with the 21-year-old forward on a three-year, two-way contract through the 2018-19 campaign.
The signing came just one day after the Prague native and his Slovakian contingent wrapped up preliminary-round play at the World Hockey Championship in Russia where they earned a fifth-place finish in Group B, but failed to advance to the quarterfinals.
The Canadiens’ fourth-round selection – 116th overall – back in 2013, Reway was eager to get the deal done and begin preparing for his first full season on this side of the pond since plying his trade with the QMJHL’s Gatineau Olympiques between 2012 and 2014.
