Earl Lloyd "Dutch" Reibel (July 21, 1930 – January 3, 2007) was a Canadian ice hockey professional player. Reibel played primarily as a centre with the Detroit Red Wings, as well as the Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins.

Reibel played seven season in the National Hockey League.[1] He won two Stanley Cups with Detroit in 1954 and 1955.[1] He was also the only person to dethrone Gordie Howe as the Red Wings' leading scorer between the 1950 and 1964 seasons, surpassing him by 4 points in 1954–55.[2]

He scored twice in the ninth All-Star Game for Detroit against the All-Stars on October 2, 1955. Following the winning goal in the second period, he scored a last-minute empty net goal to complete a 3–1 victory.

In regular season play, Reibel scored 84 goals and 161 assists for 245 points in 409 games. He recorded 6 goals and 14 assists for 20 points in 39 career playoff appearances. Reibel holds the record for most assists by a player in his first NHL game with 4 assists. He was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy in 1956.[3]

Reibel's time in NHL ended in 1959 after play for a year with the Boston Bruins.[1] He spent the remainder of his hockey career playing in the AHL with the Providence Bruins.[1] Reibel retired from hockey in 1961 and returned to Kitchener, Ontario where he worked for Brewers Retail.[1] Reibel died in Kitchener on January 3, 2007, from complications following a stroke.[4]
