The son of former Hamilton Tiger and New York American, Leo Reise, Leo Reise Jr. had a better career than his father, which says quite a bit.

Gerard Gallant played the first nine of his eleven NHL seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, where the Sixth Round Pick worked his way up to the main roster and into the top line.

Steve Chiasson was a high Third Round Pick in 1985, and after debuting for the Red Wing s the following year, he had a breakout campaign in 1988-89, scoring 47 Points.

Harry Lumley was signed by the Detroit Red Wings, but in a rare turn of events, the Goalie's first start was with the New York Rangers, when he was loaned there for a single game.  He was only 17 at the time.  “Apple Cheeks” would play in only two other NHL Games that year (1943-44), but that would be with Detroit.
