Young skater gets physical with Ryan Reaves — VIDEO

Somebody has finally found a way to take down Golden Knights enforcer Ryan Reaves.

Seems like he lives or at least skates in Reno — and he’s about a third the size of No. 75.

A Twitter account called @LasVegasAgency originally posted a video Sunday from the Reavo 75 Youth Hockey Clinic in Reno. The video was later shared by @VGKMoms (who claim they are “two Vegas moms with unhealthy obsession with Ryan Reaves”).

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound veteran forward can be seen skating leisurely as youth players swirl around him. When he goes behind the net to get a loose puck, he gets taken down by a young player who chips Reaves, causing him to fall to the ice. The kid then clears the puck and comes back to chuckle at Reaves as he picks himself up.

“It got a little physical today at the @reavo7five Youth Hockey Clinic in Reno, but not from who you would expect. #vgk #ryanreaves #goknightsgo” says the tweet.

Reaves appeared uninjured.

The Golden Knights are on their bye week and have no games scheduled until Friday, when they play at the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4:30 p.m. contest.
