1st off: You/Ducks got him with one of his team besties, Dominik Simon!!

They've been friends since their days in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In fact, here's Reeser and Dom in their 2017 Barcelona trip with Jamie Oleksiak and other (at the time) Pens!

[Video here]

2nd: He's literally one of the best defensive forwards in hockey.

Like Jfresh said, he seems like a slow skater at first, but he's consistent in breaking up play in the defensive zone, buying time for his team, & keeping the puck away from the goalie.

Reeser's also NOT afraid to throw down and fight!

[Video here]

Reeser's extremely aware that he has more to give on the offensive side of things, so don't worry about that.

Since the 20-21 season, he's been vocal about wanting to have a more offensive-minded game. He certainly wants to top his best of nine goals from that season! 

So you can see Reeser in two situations

1: In another third-line Power Line, & create another defensive wall like the Aston-Reese-Blueger-Tanev line

OR

2: Put Reeser in a Boyle-Kapanen-like line and have Reeser score more.

Anyway, to fun things!

Did you know that Zach Aston-Reese is a single dad (of an Italian greyhound called Carl the Iggy)?

[he’s a single dad (of carl)]

No, REALLY, he REALLY loves Carl—that little Italian greyhound is his kid

He got the idea of getting Carl after meeting gay fashion icon Tika the Iggy!

Reeser is also the 573rd best Fortnite player (in the NA-West server as of 2020, unknown now that he's playing COD again)

(hint hint Anaheim Ducks gaming tourney)

He's also really good friends w/ Teddy Blueger & Brandon Tanev/Uncle Tans, as well as Jake Guentzel, John Marino, & a couple more Pens.

Reeser's well-liked for being straightforward, charming, affable, & giving thoughtful answers during interviews! He's also considerate to fans!

Reeser is also Bryan and Kelsey Rust's adoptive son (not literally, but the Rusts called him that, SO)!

Reeser stayed with the Rust's and Kelsey's brother during the pandemic, and that helped them grow really close.

Reeser really IS kind of a Cali boy at heart. Here's a pic of his tattoo and him hitting the waves (unknown exact location) with the drummer of his brother's band, Hourglass!

[2nd pic]

BTW stream Reeser's brother's band, (http://Hourglass.NYC on Insta)

Reeser didn't do the final design, but he DID try designing the band logo + hosted a watch party for one of their gigs on his Twitch channel!

And yes: Reeser DOES play guitar.

Here's him w his brother 😂🤣

[Video here] [other pic]

So as you can see on his chest, Reeser's not afraid to get a tattoo as long as it means a lot to him.

Anaheim Ducks, that's for free too, tattoo feature 👀

Oh, and Anaheim Ducks, if you need a graphic designer, Reeser literally has a degree for it!

He's also designed the Penguins' St. Patrick's program & their military jersey last year.

As you can see in this drawing, he's been artistic since he was a baby

He also knows how to build tables now, so Reeser: well-rounded artist and craftsman

Oh, and did I mention that Reeser's a Very Ferda kind of dude?

He's a clingy Leo (confirmed via reading him to filth in a Twitch stream) whose main form of communication is through toxic (affectionate) banter, chess, video games, and going on dinner dates

[dinner date with spronger]

Reeser's so FERDA he's still friends with his juniors roommate, Grand Rapid Griffins forward, Dominik Shine!

[photos]

Did You Know: Zach Aston-Reese and Dominik Shine had a fight in juniors one time where Dinger shoved Reeser into a wall, and Reeser's butt left dents into the wall 😌

There's honestly a lot more that could be said about Reeser's playing style and personality, but I'll end it here.
