Jarret Reid was born on March 10th, 1973 in Ontario Canada. Jarret's Canadian roots contributed to his love of the game of hockey. While Jarret was growing up in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, he became obsessed with the competitiveness of the game. The interest he developed would prompt him to put on a pair of ice skates, and brave the cold himself. It wasn't long before Jarret realized he was a natural, and took to the ice the way a fish takes to water. From playing pickup games with his friends, to becoming one of the highest scoring players in the OHL, Jarret says the key to success is simply the drive to want to be the best, and the willingness to put in the hard work and dedication that requires.

Over the years, Jarret Reid has received a remarkable amount of various awards and distinctions that catapult him to the upper echelons of sport greatness. His dedication, passion, and skill in hockey are the traits he says he has to thank most for his accrued accolades and general success in his career. In 1990, Jarret would be picked 4th overall in the first drafting round of the OHL, being picked up by the Sault Greyhounds. That same year Jarret would go on to become the leading rookie scorer in the 1990 to 1991 season, scoring 38 points alone. During his three years with the Greyhounds, they would win every single OHL championship, thanks both to Jarret's talent and leadership. In 1993, Jarret helped seize the Memorial Cup, in a clutch 4-2 victory against the Peterborough Petes. Not satisfied with that, upon winning the Memorial Cup, Jarret also received recognition by the Government of Ontario for distinguished performance in the field of an amateur sport. This International Achievement Award was presented by Bob Ray, the premiere of Ontario.

Jarret Reid believes that all of his collective experiences as a player and coach, as well as even his involvement in charity groups such as United Way have helped to cultivate him both as a person and a mentor for youth. Jarret hopes that his instruction will not only help Canada's youth develop their skills in hockey, but their skills for life in general.
