        History

        Earl "Dutch" Reibel was a Canadian hockey player who played in the NHL from 1953 to 1958. Reibel was born in Kitchener, Ontario on July 21, 1930, the youngest child of Albert and Anna (nee Felbaum). His hockey career started in Kitchener, where he played for various teams including the Greenshirts. In 1949, he was a member of the Junior "B" Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) championship team and was recognized with a most sportsmanlike award. During the 1949-1950 season with the Windsor Spitfires, Reibel was the first player in the OHA to achieve a 100 point season, with a scoring title of 129 points.

        In 1953 he joined the Detroit Red Wings, playing for two Stanley Cup Wins in 1954 and 1955 and earning more points than Gordie Howe during the 1954-1955 season. In 1956 he was once again recognized for his sportsmanlike behaviour as the recipient of the Lady Byng Trophy. His final years in the National Hockey League were spent with the Chicago Black Hawks (1957-1958) and the Boston Bruins (1958-1959), where he was coached by Kitchener native Milt Schmidt. Reibel ended his career in the American Hockey League playing with the Providence Reds (1959-1961).

        Reibel died January 3, 2007 in Kitchener of complications from a stroke.
