Reg Thomas (ice hockey)

Reginald Kenneth Thomas (born April 21, 1953) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played primarily in the World Hockey Association (WHA). After a standout junior career with the London Knights, in which he scored 309 points in only three seasons, he was drafted by both the Los Angeles Sharks of the WHA and the Chicago Black Hawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Thomas played seven seasons in the WHA for the Sharks, Michigan Stags, Baltimore Blades, Indianapolis Racers, and Cincinnati Stingers. After the dissolution of the WHA he played 39 NHL games for the Quebec Nordiques in the NHL, and ultimately retired from hockey in 1985 after a spell in Austria for WAT Stadlau. Today, he runs a farm and produce market just outside Lambeth, Ontario.
