Tyler Reinhart Junior Review

[Zetterberg 863]

(S79) Tyler Reinhart

 

Nuuk. A small village located in the barren arctic known as Greenland. With only a population of 17,635.

It's hard to imagine very many athletes appearing on the world stage from Nuuk, however,

one family has managed to have a group of three siblings all make it to the VHLM with a fourth sibling coming next season.

This family is of course the Reinharts. They are composed of Asher, Reylynn, Jerome, and Tyler Reinhart. 

 

Tyler Reinhart and his twin Jerome Reinhart both grew up playing hockey on a line together for Greenland's only  travel team the Nuuk SnowHawks. The SnowHawks played mainly in Denmark with a few games in Norway. There Tyler would tear it up being tied with another player for the first in scoring in the league for both seasons he played with the SnowHawks. The other was of course his twin, Jerome. The Reinhart's took the SnowHawks to back-to-back championships. Despite the clear skill the twins possessed not many junior teams wanted them. This was because of Denmark and Norway’s lack of skilled competition. 

Fortunately Tyler and Jerome managed to impress the scouts of the Vaxjo TimberWolves, a Junior team who had been watching the Reinhart Twins carefully. They had signed both Asher and Reylynn Reinhart a few seasons prior making the next crop of Reinhart's high on their radar. With the Timberwolves, Tyler would have a decent first season getting 39 points in 50 games. Unfortunately during the following season, Tyler had had many disagreements with the coaching staff of Vaxjo. This resulted in him not getting nearly as much playing time as he wanted and caused him a lot of stress throwing him off his game. Despite this, he was still improving his scoring. He put up a solid 19 points in the first 15 games of the season. It was in his 16th game where Tyler would, unfortunately, have his time in Vaxjo cut short. After scoring a goal early in the first period, a player named Magnus Stefan charged him ramming into his shoulder sending his head smashing into the boards. He later was diagnosed with a concussion and had a dislocated shoulder. During those moments after the charge, laying on the ice Tyler decided he was done playing for Vaxjo and wouldn’t return when he recovered. It took a good few weeks before Tyler was 100% again and in that time he got his manager to look for a different team that would take him. This task proved to be very difficult as already around 60 games had already been played for most leagues. One of the only leagues that had a rule that let teams grab new players mid-way through the season was the VHLM, the minor pro league for the famed Victory Hockey League. It was a long shot as Tyler had planned to attempt to get into the M in S78 after having another season to develop. His manager managed to get a tryout with the Mississauga Hounds the top team at the time. The Hounds also happened to be the team his older cousin Tobias Reinhart plays for. During the tryout, Tyler impressed the general manager and was given a shot at the fourth line. He plays his first game later today and scouts are already anticipating him to be one of the better players in S78.
