Gerald Joseph Korab (born September 15, 1948) is a Canadian former professional hockey player, who was a defenceman in the National Hockey League from 1971 to 1985. Korab was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Nicknamed "King Kong", Korab made a solid reputation for himself in the 1970s-era NHL as a physical defenceman. His size gave him a distinct advantage in his own zone, and he possessed a hard shot and some offensive skills. Korab currently owns and operates Korab Inc., a packaging service located in Bellwood, Illinois.
