Head started out playing in the Grande Prairie Minor Hockey Association as a 13 year old. Three years later, Head would make the jump to what is known as "senior hockey" and play in the South Peace Hockey League as a member of the Grande Prairie Athletics, where he would win SPHL Rookie Of The Year honors in 1963-64.
He would remain with the Athletics until midway through the 1964-65 season, where he would receive an invite from the Edmonton Oil Kings. Head would remain with the Oil Kings during the 1965-66 season, where he would face off against the Oshawa Generals, a team led by future hockey Hall Of Fame member Bobby Orr. The Oil Kings would go on to defeat the Generals and would win the Memorial Cup. Head would score 16 points in 19 games during the 1965-66 post-season.
Head continued to play with the Oil Kings for one more season, scoring 50 goals and 42 assists and trailing only Garnet "Ace" Bailey in regular season point totals.
