We got to catch up with Griffin at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase last year, as well as a few of his talented hockey colleagues, Morgan Rielly and Tyson Barrie. Together they star in another excellent installment in Upper Deck’s Rookie Bootcamp series, this time, looking at hockey toughness. Working with these guys is always really fun, because you get to see them challenged as actors, and that is a special kind of toughness unto itself. Some guys, like Matt Duchene and Ryan Ellis, are like ducks in water when we hit record and its time to be goofy on camera. Other guys get a little nervous. But I will tell you, nervous or not, these guys are all total professionals. They do it for the fans, and they never let you down. Check out Griffin Reinhart, Tyson Barrie and Morgan Rielly as they do their turn, in “Toughness.”
