Mark Allen Reeds (January 24, 1960 – April 14, 2015) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League (NHL), and was also an assistant coach for the Ottawa Senators of the NHL. He was born in Toronto, Ontario, and grew up in Burlington, Ontario.
He died of esophageal cancer on April 14, 2015.
Reeds began his junior career with the Toronto Marlboros of the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League (OMJHL), playing 18 games with them in 1976–77. He then moved to the Peterborough Petes for the remainder of his junior days, playing with the club from 1977–1980. He was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 5th round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft.
After graduating from junior hockey, Reeds spent the entire 1980–81 season with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the Central Hockey League (CHL), and a majority of the 1981–82 with them. Reeds got a taste of NHL action with the Blues, appearing in 9 regular season games with St. Louis, then playing in 10 more in the NHL playoffs. He again split the 1982–83 season between the Golden Eagles and Blues before staying in St. Louis permanently in 1983–84. Reeds stayed with St. Louis until October 5, 1987, when the Blues traded him to the Hartford Whalers. He only appeared in 38 games with the Whalers due to injuries in 1987–88, and split the 1988–89 season between Hartford and the Binghamton Whalers of the American Hockey League (AHL). Reeds played in Italy from 1989–1991 before returning to North America, and in 1992–93, Reeds saw his last action as a player, suiting up for 16 games with the Peoria Rivermen of the International Hockey League (IHL).
