Jarret Reid - Paying it Forward Jarret Reid knows that not everyone has been as fortune as he has. He also understands that many great talents can be lost simply because someone never taps into their gift. This is why Jarret stays active in programs that help those less fortunate than himself. Jarret actively volunteers and donates to both United Way, a coalition of charities, as well as the Juvenile Diabetes Association. Everyone has their own obstacles to overcome, and Jarret knows that a bit of a helping hand can go a long way, which is why he hopes his contributions to charitable groups will set an example for fellow hockey players and coaches like himself.

Jarret Reid - Mentor and Friend When asked what makes a good player, Jarret believes there are many factors. Among the most important are discipline, passion, hard work, and teamwork. However, none are as important to Jarret as having heart. Jarret says that the biggest defining trait for a team player is that he never gives up, no matter the obstacles or the odds, a champion perseveres through thick and thin, never settling for second best. It is this very attitude says Jarret, that contributed to his success both as a hockey player and a coach.
