Playing career
editBorn in Prague, Réway spent his youth career in Slovakia and with Czech side Sparta Praha, before crossing the Atlantic in 2012. He spent two seasons with the Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL in Canada. 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.[citation needed]
In 2014, Réway returned to Sparta Praha and made his debut with the men's squad in the Czech Extraliga. He 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.[citation needed]
He signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League on 18 May 2016.[2] However, he missed the entirety of the 2016–17 season due to injury.[citation needed]
In the following 2017–18 season, Réway made progress in his return to health and was reassigned 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 29 October 2017.[3] On 8 November 2017, Réway joined Slovak KHL entrant, HC Slovan Bratislava, for the remainder of the season.[4]
Réway returned to playing in the 2018–19 season with hometown club, MHK Dolný Kubín, in the third tier league of Slovakia before agreeing to a one-year contract for the remainder of the year with Swedish outfit, Tingsryds AIF of the HockeyAllsvenskan on 21 November 2018.[5]
In the 2020–21 season, Réway joined fellow Slovak club, HC Košice.[6]
