'''Brian Thomas Glynn''' (born November 23, 1967) is a German-born Canadian former professional [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [defenceman](/source/Defenceman_(ice_hockey)) who played six seasons in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) (NHL). A second round selection of the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames), 37th overall at the [1986 NHL entry draft](/source/1986_NHL_entry_draft), Glynn played with the Flames, [Minnesota North Stars](/source/Minnesota_North_Stars), [Edmonton Oilers](/source/Edmonton_Oilers), [Ottawa Senators](/source/Ottawa_Senators), [Vancouver Canucks](/source/Vancouver_Canucks) and [Hartford Whalers](/source/Hartford_Whalers) during his NHL career before playing one season in the [Deutsche Eishockey Liga](/source/Deutsche_Eishockey_Liga) (DEL) for [Kölner Haie](/source/K%C3%B6lner_Haie).

==Playing career==
Glynn was born in [Iserlohn](/source/Iserlohn), [West Germany](/source/West_Germany) while his father served in the armed forces but grew up in [Saskatchewan](/source/Saskatchewan).<ref name="PodnieksPlayers">{{cite book |last=Podnieks |first=Andrew |title=Players: The Ultimate A–Z Guide of Everyone Who Has Ever Played in the NHL |publisher=[Doubleday Canada](/source/Doubleday_Canada) |location=Toronto |year=2003 |chapter=GLYNN, Brian |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/playersultimatea0000podn/page/292/mode/2up?q=glynn |page=293 |isbn=0-385-25999-9 |url=https://archive.org/details/playersultimatea0000podn/mode/2up |access-date=2024-09-20 |via=[Internet Archive text collection](/source/Internet_Archive) |url-access=limited}}</ref> He played junior hockey between 1983 and 1987 with the [Melville Millionaires](/source/Melville_Millionaires) of the [Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League](/source/Saskatchewan_Junior_Hockey_League) (SJHL) and [Saskatoon Blades](/source/Saskatoon_Blades) of the [Western Hockey League](/source/Western_Hockey_League) (WHL). He was selected in the second round, 37th overall, by the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames) at the [1986 NHL entry draft](/source/1986_NHL_entry_draft).<ref>{{cite book |title=2013–14 Calgary Flames Media Guide |editor-first=Peter |editor-last=Hanlon |editor-first2=Sean |editor-last2=Kelso |editor-first3=Rob |editor-last3=Thomas |publisher=[Calgary Flames Hockey Club](/source/Calgary_Flames) |location=Calgary |year=2013 |url=https://www.sportsarchive.net/documents/2744 |chapter=Flames Draft History |page=134 |chapter-url=https://www.sportsarchive.net/documents/2744#page/n135/mode/2up |access-date=2024-09-20}}</ref>

Starting his professional career in [1987–88](/source/1987%E2%80%9388_NHL_season), Glynn made his NHL debut on October 8, 1987, and scored a goal against goaltender [Glen Hanlon](/source/Glen_Hanlon) of the [Detroit Red Wings](/source/Detroit_Red_Wings).<ref name="PodnieksPlayers" /> He appeared in 67 games as a [rookie](/source/rookie) and scored 19 points. His play diminished in [1988–89](/source/1988%E2%80%9389_NHL_season), resulting in Glynn appearing in only nine games with the Flames and being demoted to the [Salt Lake Golden Eagles](/source/Salt_Lake_Golden_Eagles) of the [International Hockey League](/source/International_Hockey_League_(1945%E2%80%932001)) (IHL).  He spent virtually the entire [1989–90 season](/source/1989%E2%80%9390_IHL_season) with Salt Lake where he scored 61 points in 80 games.  Glynn was named a first team all-start and won the [Governor's Trophy](/source/Governor's_Trophy) as the IHL's top defenceman.<ref name="LOH">{{cite web |url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=10541 |title=Brian Glynn profile |publisher=[Hockey Hall of Fame](/source/Hockey_Hall_of_Fame) |access-date=2013-12-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190109011911/http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/SearchPlayer.jsp?player=10541 |archive-date=2019-01-09 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Glynn began the [1990–91 season](/source/1990%E2%80%9391_NHL_season) with Salt Lake, but joined the [Minnesota North Stars](/source/Minnesota_North_Stars) on October 26, 1990, after Calgary traded him in exchange for [Frank Musil](/source/Frank_Musil).<ref name="LOH" /> Glynn appeared in 66 regular season games with Minnesota, and in 23 playoff games as the North Stars made a [Cinderella](/source/Cinderella_(sports)) run to the [1991 Stanley Cup Finals](/source/1991_Stanley_Cup_Finals) before losing to the [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins).<ref name="PodnieksPlayers" />  A [journeyman](/source/journeyman_(sports)) defenceman, Glynn frequently changed teams over the next several seasons and ultimately was a member of seven franchises over his ten-year career.<ref name="PodnieksPlayers" />  Minnesota traded him to the [Edmonton Oilers](/source/Edmonton_Oilers) on January 21, 1992, for [David Shaw](/source/David_Shaw_(ice_hockey)).  After a year and a half in Edmonton, he was sent to the [Ottawa Senators](/source/Ottawa_Senators) for a draft pick on September 15, 1993. But after only a half-season with the Senators, he was claimed on [waivers](/source/waivers_(NHL)) by the [Vancouver Canucks](/source/Vancouver_Canucks).<ref name="LOH" /> Glynn played only 16 regular season games for Vancouver, but appeared in 17 playoff games as the Canucks reached, and lost, the [1994 Stanley Cup Finals](/source/1994_Stanley_Cup_Finals).<ref name="PodnieksPlayers" />

Glynn then spent two seasons with the [Hartford Whalers](/source/Hartford_Whalers) and scored 11 points in 97 games combined between the [1994–95](/source/1994%E2%80%9395_NHL_season) and [1995–96](/source/1995%E2%80%9396_NHL_season) seasons. After appearing in one game for the Whalers in [1996–97 season](/source/1996%E2%80%9397_NHL_season), Glynn was involved in a significant trade between Hartford and the [Detroit Red Wings](/source/Detroit_Red_Wings).  Glynn was included in the October 9, 1996, trade that saw the Whalers also trade their [captain](/source/captain_(ice_hockey)), [Brendan Shanahan](/source/Brendan_Shanahan), to Detroit for [Paul Coffey](/source/Paul_Coffey), [Keith Primeau](/source/Keith_Primeau) and a first round draft pick.<ref>{{cite news |title=Whalers trade Shanahan |agency=[Associated Press](/source/Associated_Press) |work=[Sarasota Herald-Tribune](/source/Sarasota_Herald-Tribune) |date=1996-10-10 |page=4C |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UkAgAAAAIBAJ&pg=6680,6495423 |access-date =2013-12-14 |via=[Newspapers.com](/source/Newspapers.com) |url-access=subscription}}</ref> Glynn never played with Detroit as he was assigned to the IHL's [San Antonio Dragons](/source/San_Antonio_Dragons) where he played 62 games. Glynn played a final professional season in 1997–98 in Germany, where he suited up for [Kölner Haie](/source/K%C3%B6lner_Haie) of the [Deutsche Eishockey Liga](/source/Deutsche_Eishockey_Liga) (DEL).<ref name="LOH" />
