Harrison Reed (born January 18, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger, currently signed with the Hamburg Crocodiles competing in the Oberliga (Germany's third tier). Throughout his career, he has appeared in 208 games within the American Hockey League (AHL) and participated in 50 contests in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

Playing career

Selected 93rd overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes, Reed developed his skills in major junior hockey within the Ontario Hockey League, representing the London Knights, Sarnia Sting, and Guelph Storm. After concluding his junior career with the Storm in the 2007–08 season, he inked a three-year entry-level deal with the Hurricanes on May 22, 2008.

For the 2008–09 campaign, Reed was assigned to the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate, the Albany River Rats, where he took part in 70 games and tallied 9 points. He also made a single appearance for their ECHL affiliate, the Florida Everblades. The following season, Reed began again with Albany and had a short stint with Florida before being traded to the Colorado Avalanche organization on March 3, 2010. He wrapped up that season playing for Colorado’s AHL team, the Lake Erie Monsters.

On September 1, 2011, Reed agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL. During the 2011–12 season, he accumulated 33 points across 52 games and secured two AHL try-out contracts with Lake Erie Monsters and Houston Aeros.

As a free agent, Reed committed to a one-year contract with the Stockton Thunder (ECHL) on September 5, 2012. Serving as a leading scorer on Stockton’s top line, he maintained an impressive point-per-game rate and played a significant role in guiding the team to the Kelly Cup finals. That season also included a loan period where he appeared in 14 games for Lake Erie Monsters.

On July 31, 2013, Reed embarked on his first European tenure by signing with Eispiraten Crimmitschau of Germany’s DEL2 league. Despite his team finishing at the bottom of the standings, he led the league with an outstanding total of 40 goals and 90 points over 54 games and earned recognition as DEL2 Forward of the Year. In playoffs, he contributed an additional 27 points in 17 games to help his club avoid relegation.

For the 2014–15 season, Reed moved up to Germany’s top tier DEL by joining Straubing Tigers and finished as their second-highest point producer with 25 points. The subsequent season saw him return to DEL2 with Dresdner Eislöwen, where he recorded 28 goals and 26 assists over 67 games alongside former teammate Max Campbell. After that stint, Reed transitioned to Denmark’s Metal Ligaen to compete for SønderjyskE Ishockey.
