'''Jeff Glass''' (born November 19, 1985) is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] professional [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender]]. He currently plays for the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL). Glass was selected by the [[Ottawa Senators]] in the 3rd round (89th overall) of the [[2004 NHL Entry Draft]]. He joined their minor league affiliate and played several years with the organization before leaving as a free agent to join [[Barys Astana]] in 2009.

== Playing career ==
Glass spent his junior career with the [[Kootenay Ice]] of the [[Western Hockey League]] (WHL), spending three seasons with the team from 2002–2005. At the conclusion of the [[2004-05 WHL season|2004–05 season]], Glass won the [[Del Wilson Trophy]] as the WHL's top goaltender, was named to the WHL First All-Star team, and was named [[CHL Goaltender of the Year]] as the best goaltender in Canadian major-junior hockey. That year, Glass was also named starting goaltender for [[Canada men's national junior ice hockey team|Canada]] at the [[2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2005 World Junior Championships]] in [[North Dakota]]. Glass went 5-0 with a 1.40 [[goals against average]] (GAA), backstopping Canada to its first gold medal at the tournament since [[1997 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|1997]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tsn.ca/World_jrs/feature/?fid=10083|title=WJHC History (Gold) - 2005|publisher=''[[The Sports Network|TSN]]''|accessdate=2010-12-14}}</ref>

Glass was drafted by the [[Ottawa Senators]] in the third round, 89th overall, of the [[2004 NHL Entry Draft]]. After his stellar 2004–05 campaign, he signed a three-year entry level contract with the Senators. He spent the majority of the 2005–06 season with the Senators' [[ECHL]] affiliate, the [[Charlotte Checkers (ECHL)|Charlotte Checkers]], before securing a full-time job with the Senators' top minor-league affiliate, the [[American Hockey League]]'s [[Binghamton Senators]], in 2006-07. For the next three seasons Glass shared time in Binghamton with [[Kelly Guard]] and [[Brian Elliott]], compiling a record of 42-67-9.

After the [[2008-09 AHL season|2008–09]] season, Glass became a free agent and on 30 August 2009, he signed an undisclosed deal with the [[Kontinental Hockey League|KHL]]'s [[Barys Astana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thekhl.net/list-NHL-players-in-the-KHL.php |title=List of NHL Players to KHL |publisher=''[[Kontinental Hockey League|KHL.net]]'' |accessdate=2010-12-14 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110624012638/http://www.thekhl.net/list-NHL-players-in-the-KHL.php |archivedate=June 24, 2011 |df= }}</ref> Glass had a stellar [[2009-10 KHL season|2009–10]] campaign with Astana, posting a 19-11-4 record with a 2.87 GAA and .918 save percentage. Astana lost its first round playoff series to the eventual [[Gagarin Cup]] champions, [[Ak Bars Kazan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/browse/18/article/gagarin-cup-stays-in-kazan.html?tx_ttnews |title=Gagarin Cup stays in Kazan |publisher=''[[IIHF]]'' |date=2010-05-01 |accessdate=2010-12-14 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018042755/http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/browse/18/article/gagarin-cup-stays-in-kazan.html?tx_ttnews |archivedate=October 18, 2012 |df= }}</ref>

Glass signed with [[HC Spartak Moscow]] before the [[2013-14 KHL season|2013–14]] season, however due to team financial problems he was sold to [[HC CSKA Moscow]] in January 2014. On July 9, 2014, Glass signed as a free agent to a one-year contract with [[HC Lada Togliatti]].<ref>{{citeweb| url = http://www.hclada.ru/press-center/news/?n=1404900855 | title = Lada has signed Canadian goalie Jeff Glass from CSKA | publisher = ''[[HC Lada Togliatti]]'' | date = 2014-07-09 | accessdate = 2014-07-09 | language = Russian}}</ref>

He signed with another [[Kontinental Hockey League|KHL]] team for the 2015-16 campaign, joining [[HC Dinamo Minsk]] of [[Belarus]]. In December 2015, he represented Team Canada at the [[2015 Spengler Cup|Spengler Cup]] and helped capture the title.

On August 26, 2016, Glass having returned to North America after 7 seasons in the KHL, signed with the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] on a professional try-out contract to attend training camp. On September 27, 2016, he was re-assigned by the Maple Leafs to attend affiliate, the [[Toronto Marlies]] training camp in the AHL. He ended up being released from the Marlies and on January 10, 2017 signed a contract to play for the [[Rockford IceHogs]], affiliate to the [[Chicago Blackhawks]].<ref>{{citeweb| url = http://www.icehogs.com/news/icehogs/index.html?article_id=5468 | title = GOALTENDER JEFF GLASS, ICEHOGS AGREE TO TERMS | publisher = ''[[Rockford IceHogs]]'' | date = 2014-01-10 | accessdate = 2017-01-10 | language = English}}</ref> Glass appeared in 10 games with the IceHogs, before he was signed to a two-year, two-way NHL contract with the Blackhawks on February 23, 2017.<ref>{{citeweb| url = https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/blackhawks-agree-to-terms-with-goaltender-jeff-glass/c-287045190 | title = Blackhawks agree to terms with Glass | publisher = ''[[Chicago Blackhawks]]'' | date = 2017-02-23 | accessdate = 2017-02-23}}</ref>
