Martin Réway (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈmarcɪn ˈreːvaj]; born 24 January 1995) is a Czech-born Slovak professional ice hockey forward who is currently an unrestricted free agent who most recently played with HC Slovan Bratislava in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Playing career

Born in Prague, Réway spent his youth career in Slovakia and with Sparta Praha, before heading over the atlantic in 2012. He spent two seasons with the Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL. Réway was selected 116th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft as well as 102nd overall by the HC Slovan Bratislava in the 2012 KHL Junior Draft.

In 2014, Réway returned to Sparta Praha and made his debut with the men's squad in the Czech league. He also started the 2015–16 season with Sparta Praha, but transferred to Fribourg-Gottéron in November 2015.[1] He saw the ice in 19 games of the Swiss National League A (NLA), scoring eight goals while assisting on 13 more.

He signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League on May 18, 2016.[2] However, he missed the entirety of the 2016–17 season due to injury.

In the following 2017–18 season, Réway made progress in his return to health and was re-assigned to begin the year with AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket. Having appearing in just 5 games over the first month of the season, Réway re-assessed his option and opted to mutually terminate his contract with the Canadiens in order to return home on October 29, 2017.[3] On November 8, 2017, Réway joined Slovak KHL entrant, HC Slovan Bratislava, for the remainder of the season.[4]
