Reid was drafted 256th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, however he returned to the WHL for the next two seasons where he helped the Medicine Hat Tigers win the 2004 WHL Championship.[2] In 2005, Reid attended the Lightning's training camp but was reassigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Springfield Falcons, prior to the 2005–06 season.[3] Reid was recalled from the AHL on December 16 after recording 10 points in 21 games.[4] He played his first career NHL game the following night on December 17, 2005, against the Detroit Red Wings and was reassigned to the AHL on December 27.[5]

Reid was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on November 9, 2006, for Daniel Corso.[6] After two seasons with the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, Reid signed a one-year contract with the Hershey Bears for the 2008–09 season.[7] He won the Calder Cup with the Bears that season.[2] After playing a few games in the ECHL, Reid then signed a contract with the Heilbronn Falcons for the rest of the 2009–10 season.[8]

After retiring from hockey, Reid joined the Drayton Valley Thunder as an assistant coach in 2018.[1]
