Cody Glass
First draft pick in Vegas Golden Knights history.
Last updated
As of March 2025, Glass has played for the Golden Knights, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New Jersey Devils.[1][2][3] The Vegas Golden Knights selected Glass with the sixth overall pick in the 2017 entry draft, making him the first player ever chosen by that franchise.[4][5]
Life and work
He was selected by the Portland Winterhawks in the first round of the 2014 WHL bantam draft.[6] In the 2016–17 season, Glass led the Winterhawks in points with 94 and assists with 62 in 69 games.[7] At the 2025 NHL trade deadline, Glass was dealt to the New Jersey Devils.[3] Financial support from his grandmother Judy continued until she passed away in 2016.[8]
During the 2014–15 season, Glass accumulated 55 points over 40 games while playing AAA hockey for the Winnipeg Thrashers.[6] Glass made his NHL debut on October 2, 2019, and in that same contest he netted his first NHL goal.[9] As part of a three-team transaction on July 17, 2021, Glass was sent to the Nashville Predators.[1]
What the cited sources add
A 2017 article by Graney in the Las Vegas Review Journal describes how Glass's father, a postal worker, raised him and his brother after the 2010 divorce.[10] A Vegas Golden Knights press release from July 2017 lists Glass's height as 6'2" and weight as 178 lbs.[7] The Chicago Wolves announced on April 17, 2018, that Glass had been assigned to the team after the Winterhawks' playoff elimination.[11] That announcement states Glass skated 201 WHL games over three full seasons, totaling 223 points.[11]
A Sportsnet article from September 22, 2017, confirms Glass was the first draft pick in Vegas team history.[5]
