Brian Glennie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Glennie (born 29 August 1946 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a retired professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the NHL from 1969 until 1979. He was a member of Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, but he did not play against the Soviet Union. However, Brian played in two of the "exhibition" games against Sweden [1] and Czechoslovakia [2].

Glennie played 572 career NHL games, all but 18 with the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring 14 goals and 100 assists for 114 points. Paired frequently with the offensive-styled Jim McKenny, Glennie was a defensive defenceman and a master of the lost art of the hip-check.[3]
