**Gregory A. "Truck" Tebbutt** (May 11, 1957 – December 17, 2021) was a Canadian professional [ice hockey](/source/Ice_hockey) player. He played 26 games in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) with the [Quebec Nordiques](/source/Quebec_Nordiques) and [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins) during the [1979–80](/source/1979%E2%80%9380_NHL_season) and [1983–84 seasons](/source/1983%E2%80%9384_NHL_season). The rest of his career, which lasted from 1978 to 1988, was spent in the minor leagues. A defenceman, he was a rugged enforcer in his own end who also put up solid offensive numbers in junior and the minors.

## Life and playing career

Born in [North Vancouver](/source/North_Vancouver_(city)), [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia), Tebbutt played junior with the [Victoria Cougars](/source/Victoria_Cougars), [Flin Flon Bombers](/source/Flin_Flon_Bombers) and [Regina Pats](/source/Regina_Pats) in the WCJHL, from 1975 to 1978. He was drafted 130th overall by the [Minnesota North Stars](/source/Minnesota_North_Stars) in 1977. After scoring 28 goals for the Flin Flon Bombers in 1977-78, Tebbutt split the next year between the [Binghamton Dusters](/source/Binghamton_Dusters) and the [World Hockey Association](/source/World_Hockey_Association) (WHA) [Birmingham Bulls](/source/Birmingham_Bulls_(WHA)).[1]

Following the WHA/NHL merger, Tebbutt was claimed on [waivers](/source/Waivers_(NHL)) by the Nordiques. Apart from his two-game stint in the NHL he was a solid minor leaguer for the next four years and topped the 20-goal mark twice. In July 1983, Tebbutt signed with Pittsburgh and played 24 games in the 1983–84 season. Following this he returned to the minors before retiring. During the mid-1980s he reached the 200 penalty minute mark and scored 20 goals in three straight seasons in the IHL. Tebbutt's last season was in 1987–88 with the [Baltimore Skipjacks](/source/Baltimore_Skipjacks) of the AHL. He died on December 17, 2021, at the age of 64.[2]
