"David Reinbacher: Ready to carve out a place...
David Reinbacher reflects on the emotions he experienced when signing his first NHL contract at the 2023 Canadiens Development Camp:
"To sign my first contract for the National Hockey League; I was so excited. It's just a small step in the right direction. In your head, you've achieved something that not everyone has, but now you've got to work to make the team and stay on the team. So, it was kind of both: some good emotions, but some emotions where you're like, «Okay, now it's time to work.»
About being welcomed as a hero upon returning home after the Draft:
I went to a couple of camps with young kids. You can see right away they're happy. You can make them smile just by saying hi to them and giving them a fist bump or something. They look up to you like a role model."
