Brian Glynn (born November 23, 1967 in Iserlohn ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player . The defender played over 400 games for six teams in the National Hockey League between 1987 and 1996 . He reached the Stanley Cup final with the Minnesota North Stars in 1991 and with the Vancouver Canucks in 1994 , but was inferior with his team.

Career

Brian Glynn was born in Iserlohn when his father was stationed there with the Canadian Armed Forces , but returned to Canada as a child and grew up in Saskatchewan . There he was active between 1983 and 1985 for the Melville Millionaires in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League , before moving to the Saskatoon Blades in the higher-ranking Western Hockey League . In the 1985/86 season he recorded 32 points scorer in 66 games and was then selected in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft at 37th position by the Calgary Flames . After another season in Saskatoon, the defender moved permanently to the organization of the Flames for the 1987/88 season and promptly earned himself a regular place in their line-up for the National Hockey League (NHL). However, he lost this the following year, so that from now on he was mainly on the ice for the Salt Lake Golden Eagles in the International Hockey League (IHL). There he scored 61 points in 80 games in the 1989/90 season, so that he was awarded the Governor's Trophy as the best defender in the league and was elected to the IHL First All-Star Team .

His time with the Flames ended in October 1990 when he was given to the Minnesota North Stars in exchange for František Musil . With the North Stars he reached the Stanley Cup final in the 1991 playoffs , but lost 4-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins . In the middle of the following season he was transferred to the Edmonton Oilers in January 1992 , while David Shaw moved to Minnesota in return . Even with the Oilers, he penetrated well into the playoffs in his first season, but failed with the team in the conference finals at the Chicago Blackhawks . After another year in Edmonton, he was sent to the Ottawa Senators in September 1993 , while these were an eight-round suffrage for the 1994 NHL Entry Draft to the Oilers. After almost half a year in the Canadian capital, the defender came to the Vancouver Canucks via waiver in February 1994 , with whom he reached his second final in the subsequent playoffs in 1994 , but the title after a 3: 4 defeat against New York Rangers missed again.

Then Glynn was not used in the first half of the 1994/95 season before he came to the Hartford Whalers via the NHL Waiver Draft in January 1995 . This should represent his last NHL team, because although he moved to the Detroit Red Wings in a "blockbuster trade" in October 1996, he did not appear for the team. With him, Brendan Shanahan moved to Motor City , while the Whalers received Paul Coffey , Keith Primeau and a first-round vote for the 1997 NHL Entry Draft . Glynn spent the rest of the 1996/97 season with the San Antonio Dragons in the IHL before ending his career with the Cologne Sharks in his native country.

After the end of his active career, he settled in Prince Albert in his home province of Saskatchewan and has worked there as a police officer ever since.
