Early life

Glass was born on April 1, 1999, to father Jeff Glass, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The parents divorced in 2010 and he lived with his father alongside his brother Matthew. [1] Glass' grandmother Judy helped support the family financially until her death in 2016. [2]

Playing career

Junior

Glass played AAA ice hockey with the Winnipeg Thrashers during the 2014–15 season, recording 55 points in 40 games. [3] He was subsequently selected by the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 1st round (19th overall) in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, after acquiring the pick in a trade with the Calgary Hitmen. [4] In his rookie season, Glass was chosen to compete with Team Manitoba at the 2015 Canada Winter Games. [5]

Early in the 2016–17 season, Glass quickly began rising in the draft rankings with his exceptional play. Initially rated a "C" level prospect by NHL Central Scouting in August, he was upgraded to "A" by November, indicating first-round potential. By the end of the season Glass was regarded as a top prospect of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, with scouts praising his combination of playmaking, hockey sense and hands. [6] [7]

Glass was drafted sixth overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He is the first ever player drafted by the Golden Knights. On July 16, 2017, Glass agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights. [8] Glass was invited to the Knights training camp before the 2017–18 season, however he was cut and reassigned to the Winterhawks before the final roster was announced. [9] On March 31, Glass was named a Western Conference First Team All-Star and the Western Conference's Most Sportsmanlike Player. [10] On April 17, 2018, Glass was assigned to the Golden Knights' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Chicago Wolves, after the Winterhawks were eliminated from the 2018 WHL playoffs. [11] However, the Wolves were eliminated from the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs before Glass made an appearance for the team.

On September 25, 2018, prior to the 2018–19 season, Glass was reassigned to the Winterhawks, [12] where he was named team captain. [13] While with the Winterhawks, Glass was one of seven WHL players selected by Team Canada to attend their 2019 National Junior Team Selection Camp. [14] On March 20, Glass was named to the 2018–19 WHL First All-Star Team. [15]

Professional

After attending the Golden Knights training camp, Glass made his NHL debut in the Golden Knights' season opener against San Jose on October 2, 2019. As a result, he became the first Golden Knights draft pick to play for the team. [16] In that game, he recorded his first career NHL goal. [17] During the 2019–20 season, Glass was elbowed by Rangers’ Brendan Lemieux who was fined $2,000 and he went through concussion protocol. [18]

On July 17, 2021, the Golden Knights traded Glass to the Nashville Predators as part of a three-team trade also involving the Philadelphia Flyers. [19] He spent the majority of his first season in the organization with the team's minor league affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.

On July 1, 2023, the Predators signed Glass to a two-year, $5 million contract extension. [20]

On March 2, 2024, Glass scored his first career hat-trick in a 5-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche. [21]

On August 13, 2024, Glass was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, alongside two draft picks, in exchange for Jordan Frasca. [22]
