Cole Reinhardt's story
After four seasons with the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL, Cole Reinhardt arrived in the professional ranks having scored 75 goals and tallied 141 points in 252 junior games. Drafted as an overage pick—sixth round, 181st overall—by the Ottawa Senators in 2020, he moved into pro hockey through steady development rather than immediate stardom.
Reinhardt made his professional debut in 2020 on an amateur tryout with Ottawa’s AHL club, the Belleville Senators. Ottawa signed him to a three-year entry-level contract in April 2021, starting in 2021–22. His AHL numbers grew as he adjusted to the pro game: six goals and 12 points in 33 games in 2020–21, then 15 goals and 30 points over 70 contests in 2021–22.
He split time between Belleville and Ottawa after that. Reinhardt played his first NHL game on April 7, 2022, but returned to Belleville the following day. The 2022–23 season brought a career high in AHL points with 11 goals and 34 points in 66 games. In 2024–25 he recorded his first NHL point on October 25, 2024, and scored his first NHL goal on November 25, 2024, against Calgary; a subsequent upper-body injury on January 11, 2025 interrupted his season and he moved between the NHL and AHL several times.
As a free agent after that season, Reinhardt signed a two-year deal with the Vegas Golden Knights on July 1, 2025. He made the opening roster and debuted for Vegas on October 14, 2025, and scored his first goal for the club on October 16, 2025. Placed on waivers on March 5, 2026, he was claimed by the Florida Panthers the next day; he played his first game for Florida on March 12 and notched his first goal and point for the Panthers on March 19, 2026. During Florida’s 2026 training camp he was placed on waivers again and, after going unclaimed, was assigned to the Charlotte Checkers to begin 2026–27.
Reinhardt’s career so far reads as that of a hard-working winger who produces reliably at the AHL level and steps into NHL opportunities when needed. His trajectory emphasizes adaptability and readiness—qualities that have kept him in the mix between leagues and organizations.
