Meet Kanen and Kamilla
Reaves’ own kids—Kanen, 6, and Kamilla, 3—are his escape from the real world and the stress of a high-stakes job. “When I come home from work, if something is bothering me, I see my kids and I just forget about everything and hang out with them.”

Kanen and Kamilla are also at an age where they understand more about what their dad does and are starting to participate in sports of their own. “The best part is seeing my kids at games,” says Reaves.
“Seeing them wearing my jersey and cheering, and then my wife sending me videos after games of them cheering me on or singing the Rangers’ ‘Goal’ song anytime anybody scores—it’s things like that that don’t last forever in this profession.”
