Reece is known best for surrendering eleven goals against the
Toronto Maple Leafs on February 7, 1976, which included six goals and four assists for
Darryl Sittler, setting an NHL-record ten points in one game. He was in net as a replacement for starters Gerry Cheevers and Gilles Gilbert. Reece played the whole game and was never pulled by coach
Don Cherry. The game was Reece's last NHL appearance. In international hockey, Reece served as
Mike Curran's backup at the 1977
Ice Hockey World Championship tournament in

1972 Winter Olympics but did not make the final cut. A four-year collegiate hockey player on the
University of Vermont men's hockey team, Reece is 7th all-time in save percentage (.900) and goals against average (3.01), while also ranking 5th in all-time saves. He has been named a member of the Vermont Hockey All-Time Team. During his time at UVM, Reece double majored in political science and education. ==Post-playing career==
