Martin Reway is looking to resume his hockey career after missing all of last season with a heart problem.

The 22-year-old Czech is among 23 players invited to the Canadiens’ rookie camp, which begins Thursday with a 12:30 p.m. practice in Brossard. After that session, the Canadiens will take a bus to Toronto for a tournament against rookies from the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Reway averaged better than a point a game with Gatineau in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, but he didn’t attract much attention in the draft because he’s only 5-foot-8. The Canadiens, who have never shied away from small players, drafted Reway in the fourth round in 2013 and general manager Marc Bergevin has described the right winger as a player with National Hockey League talent.

After playing two seasons in Gatineau, Reway returned to Europe and again put up point-a-game numbers in the Czech and Swiss leagues.
