Playing career
Junior
Reinhart began his junior career with his hometown
On the ice, Reinhart scored a total of 104 points as a defenceman with the Rangers between 1975 and 1978 before breaking out offensively in the 1978–79 season after moving centre for the majority of the campaign.[5] He scored 51 goals and 78 assists for 129 points in 66 games to finish fifth overall in OMJHL scoring.[6] The team's captain in his final year,[7] Reinhart won numerous team honours during his four years in Kitchener including three awards for having the "best defensive ability" on the team.[8]
Professional
The Atlanta Flames selected Reinhart with their first round selection, 12th overall, at the 1979 NHL Entry Draft.[9] Though he had been set to join Team Canada for the 1980 Winter Olympics, the Flames convinced Reinhart to sign with the team and begin his professional career instead. Joining the Flames for the 1979–80 NHL season, the 19-year-old Reinhart became the youngest player to appear for the team at that point in franchise history.[10] He appeared in 79 games for Atlanta, finishing as the team's highest scoring defenceman. His total of 47 points was second to Ray Bourque for the overall lead amongst rookie defencemen.[5]

Between his back issues and the team's desire to promote some of its younger defencemen to more prominent roles within the team, the Flames chose to trade Reinhart on September 6, 1988, along with Steve Bozek, to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a third round selection at the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.[25] Reinhart played the majority of two seasons in Vancouver, though he missed 29 games between 1988 and 1990. He was named an All-Star for the second time in his career in 1989,[1] and was an offensive leader for the Canucks. He scored 57 points in both 1988–89 and 1989–90,[1] and was named the recipient of the Babe Pratt Trophy as the Canucks' top defenceman in both seasons.[26] However, chronic back pain forced him out of the game following that season. Reinhart announced his retirement at the age of 30.[27]
Playing style
Though his position for the majority of his career was in defence, his offensive ability and speed meant that his teams occasionally played him at forward.
Personal life
Reinhart and his wife Theresa have three children, all of whom play hockey. Their eldest son, Max, made his NHL debut with the Flames in 2013. His middle son, Griffin was drafted 4th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders. His youngest son, Sam, was selected 2nd overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres. In 2021 offseason Sam was traded to the Florida Panthers.[28] Paul and his wife spent their summers in Calgary during his playing days, where he often played with the team's summer charity softball team,[22] but settled in West Vancouver following the end of his NHL career.[27]
