Brian Glynn's journey in professional hockey began when he was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the second round, 37th overall, in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. A defenseman known for his physical style of play, Glynn brought a solid presence to the ice. He made his NHL debut with the Flames, where he played a part in their defensive lineup.
During his time with Calgary, Glynn contributed to the team's depth on defense. However, his tenure with the Flames was relatively short-lived. In 1990, he was traded to the Minnesota North Stars, where he continued to develop his skills as a reliable defenseman. Glynn's time with the North Stars saw him participating in the team's run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1991, a highlight of his career.
After his stint with the North Stars, Glynn found himself on the move again, this time to the Edmonton Oilers. His role with the Oilers was similar to his previous teams, providing stability and experience on the blue line. Glynn's physical play and defensive capabilities were assets to the Oilers during his time there.
Glynn's career continued with several more team changes. He was traded to the Ottawa Senators, where he played for a brief period before being claimed by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1993 NHL Expansion Draft. With the Canucks, Glynn added depth to their defense, contributing to the team's efforts in the playoffs.
Later, Glynn joined the Hartford Whalers, where he played until the end of his NHL career. Throughout his time in the league, Glynn was known for his steady defensive play and his ability to adapt to different team environments. His career in the NHL spanned several teams, each benefiting from his experience and defensive skills.
