"I'd like to thank the Solar Bears organization for giving me a
chance to play during a very hectic situation, not knowing how
long I could remain with the team," said Reaves. "From the team
owners (Joe Haleski, Bob Ohrablo, and Jason Siegel) to Drake
Berehowsky, Matt McIlvane and all the players, everyone helped
give me a tremendous chance to play and stay in shape. The
Solar Bears have a great team and a great group of players, and
I had a blast playing in front of the fans in Orlando. I will
miss the team and will keep tabs on how the players and the
team are doing for sure."
"I want to thank Ryan for his hard work, dedication, and
leadership," said Head Coach Drake Berehowsky. "He is a true
professional, and will have a long career in the NHL. The
Orlando organization wishes him all the best in the
future."
