Veteran goalie Jeff Glass still hopeful for NHL chance at 31
TORONTO — Veteran goaltender Jeff Glass practises with the Toronto Marlies not knowing when he will dress for a game, let alone get a start.
His NHL revival attempt doesn’t come with any guarantees.
Skating with the Maple Leafs’ American Hockey League affiliate on a profressional tryout, Glass has no contract. He’s played just once this season, and that start only came after Leafs prospect Garret Sparks was suspended for violating team policy.
“I don’t look too far in the future, I really want this to work out but it’s out of my control,” said Glass, who rose to national fame after backstopping Canada to world junior gold in 2005. “Maybe something can shake loose and I can stick around here.”
