Michael J. Reilly, Jr. (born July 13, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman who currently plays for the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL) within the Minnesota Wild organization of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was originally selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 4th round (98th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Born in Chicago, Reilly grew up in Chanhassen, Minnesota. After attending and playing for the Academy of Holy Angels and Shattuck-St Mary's, Reilly was selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Opting not to sign with the Blue Jackets, he went on to play for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Reilly was named Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-American following both his sophomore and junior seasons.[1]

Columbus' draft rights to Reilly expired on June 15, 2015, allowing for him to become an unrestricted free agent.[2] On July 1, 2015, Reilly was officially signed to a two-year entry level contract with the Minnesota Wild worth $1.85 million.[1][3]

During his first professional season in 2015–16, Reilly was initially assigned to AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild. On January 9, 2016 Reilly made his NHL debut with the Minnesota Wild in a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.

Family

His father, Michael J. Reilly, was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the eighth round of the 1977 NHL Amateur Draft, after a successful freshman campaign at Colorado College, but never played in the National Hockey League.[4]
