Personal life
Reise was born in Pembroke, Ontario. He lost sight in one of his eyes as a youngster, yet he continued to play hockey. The loss did not come as a result of an injury but rather as the result of an optical nerve that simply died.
His son Leo Reise, Jr. won the Stanley Cup twice with the Detroit Red Wings, in 1950 and 1952.
