West Vancouver buddies Griffin Reinhart and Morgan Rielly continue to jump every hurdle together as they race towards hockey stardom.
The two former Hollyburn Huskies defencemen, picked fourth and fifth overall in the 2012 NHL draft, will both begin the 2013-14 season in the big show. Reinhart earned an opening day roster spot with the New York Islanders while Rielly will open the season with the famed Toronto Maple Leafs.
There's still one more hurdle to clear - the two 19-year-olds are still junior eligible and could be sent back to their WHL teams after nine NHL games. At game No. 10 their pro rookie contracts kick in.
