Flyers forward, Hayden Reid was selected by the Niagara Ice Dogs with the 50th overall pick and AP, Cameron Arquette was taken in the 4th round, 71st overall.

Reid, from Clarington, Ontario, made the team out of camp and was an important contributor to the line up.

The 16-year-old scored 16 goals and added 24 assists for 40 points in 47 games, finishing with three power play goals and three game winning goals.

He also took part in the GOJHL’s Future Stars Game was selected to play in the St. Andrew’s College MacPherson Challenge Tournament, where he won Gold.

“This is an awesome accomplishment for Hayden and his family,” Flyers head coach Dale Mitchell states. “After not getting drafted last year, he persevered and proved people wrong. We are very excited for him.”

Reid’s scoring prowess has continued in the post season, where he has six goals and six assists in 16 games.
Earlier this year, Reid committed to Colgate University in NCAA D1 hockey.

Arquette, meanwhile, suited up for two games with the Flyers this season, while playing for the Sun County Panthers.
