Interview With Taylor Reid

With Nolan Julseth-White hurt and Mike Ingoldsby still suffering from post-concussion syndrome, Coach Leaman had to find someone to fill the 6th defenseman spot. The guy he picked was junior Taylor Reid.

The last time Reid played in a game was January 2, 2009 against Notre Dame in the Shillelagh Tournament. Reid's last game at Messa Rink was on November 28, 2008 against Army (where he picked up his only career point, an assist), and his only ECAC game was on November 15, 2008 against Princeton.

I thought that Reid did a solid job tonight. He also picked up his first career penalty, which expired right before Quinnipiac scored their first goal. Taylor saw some time on the penalty kill as well.

Personally, I am very excited for Taylor. He has worked very hard for three years now and hasn't seen much ice time, but is still sticking with it. Now he's playing in one of the biggest weekends in the history of Union Hockey. Congrats Taylor!
