The former Calgary Flames forward announced his retirement from the NHL on Tuesday, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. The 32-year-old Glencross accepted tryouts with both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche during the preseason before being released by both clubs.
"We have weighed our options and with the young family I'm enjoying a lot of firsts with them," said Glencross, who has two daughters and an infant son.
