Calgary Flames 35 Days Until the Season Starts: #35 Jeff Reese

We’re getting so close I can almost taste it! With 35 days until the season starts, let’s look at a former Calgary Flames player with that number.

Since the start of August, we’re counting down the number of days left until the regular season starts up again! Everyday until the start of the season, we’ll be talking about a Calgary Flames player whose number correlates with how many days there are left.

Yesterday, we talked about a player who is currently on the Flames roster. But unfortunately, he is somewhat expensive and he hasn’t quite lived up to his pay. That was #36 Troy Brouwer.

Today let’s switch things up a little and look at a player who’s been retired for about 20 years. He’s also the first goalie we’ve mentioned in this countdown! With 35 days until the regular season starts, let’s take a look at #35 Jeff Reese.

Jeff Reese started his career off by being drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the fourth round (it would be the third round today). However he would stay down with his OHL team, the London Knights for a few season before joining the Leafs farm-team, the Newmarket Saints at the time. He finally played his first NHL game in the 1987-88 season, but his time would be split between the NHL and the AHL.

He would finally get more time in the 1991-92 season, but he was part of a ten-player trade between the Leafs and the Calgary Flames on January 2nd, 1992 which brought him to YYC (yay).
