Mark Reeds

Following his playing career, he became a coach, serving as an assistant coach with the IHL's Peoria Rivermen from 1992 to 1996. The Rivermen moved to the ECHL for the 1996–97 season, and Reeds was elevated to head coach, leading the club to a 43–21–6 record. He spent the next two seasons in Peoria before moving to the United Hockey League's Missouri River Otters, leading the expansion club to the playoffs in its first season, 1999–2000. He led the Otters to the playoffs in each of his four seasons, then moved to the Kalamazoo Wings of the UHL, leading the squad to the 2006 Colonial Cup Championship, 4 games to 1 over Danbury in the finals. The Wings returned to the league's final series in 2007, but fell to the Rockford IceHogs in seven games. Reeds was hired as the head coach of the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League in July 2007.

In his first season with the Attack in 2007–08, the rebuilding club struggled, failing to make the playoffs. Owen Sound improved in 2008–09, as they earned 20 more points than the previous season, and made the playoffs, where they went out in the first round. The Attack then struggled in 2009–10, missing the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. In 2010–11, Owen Sound, predicted to be a border-line playoff team, wound up having the best record in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, the Attack easily defeated the London Knights, Plymouth Whalers and Windsor Spitfires to make the J. Ross Robertson Cup finals. In the finals, the Attack upset the heavily-favoured Mississauga St. Michael's Majors in seven games to represent the OHL in the 2011 Memorial Cup. After shutting out the Kootenay Ice 5–0 in their first game, injuries caught up with the Attack, as they lost their next two round-robin games, followed by a 7–3 loss to Kootenay in a tie-breaker, to be eliminated from the tournament.

On June 23, 2011, newly-hired Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean named Reeds as one of his assistant coaches.
