Glenn Healy (born August 23, 1962) is a Canadian former professionalice hockeygoaltender who played for 15 years in theNational Hockey League (NHL). Prior to that, he was a member of theWestern Michigan University ice hockey team, and 1985 graduate of the school. He also served as the director of player affairs for theNational Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA). He resigned on September 3, 2009, in the wake of the firing of NHLPA executive directorPaul Kelly.[1] In his capacity as director of player affairs, Healy also served as a non-voting member on the NHL Competition Committee, overseeing the NHLPA's interests regarding rule and equipment issues and player safety matters. He serves as the executive director/president of the NHL Alumni Association.
During his career, Healy played for theLos Angeles Kings,New York Islanders,New York Rangers and theToronto Maple Leafs. During the1992–93 season, he helped lead an up-start New York Islander team to the Wales Conference Finals, shocking the two-time defendingStanley Cup ChampionPittsburgh Penguins along the way.[2] In the 1993 off-season, the Islanders lost Healy to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the expansion draft. The next day, he was claimed by the Tampa Bay Lightning in phase two of the draft. The very same day Healy was traded to the New York Rangers for a third round pick. Healy was a part of the Rangers' Stanley Cup winning team in 1993-94, and he played 68 playoff minutes that year. During the 1995–96 season, Healy won both the Rangers Good Guy Award and the RangersFan Club Ceil Saidel Award. At the time he won these awards, he was the Rangers' number-one goalie whileMike Richter was injured.[3] Healy appeared on three video game covers during his career, his first beingElectronic Arts'NHL Hockey in 1991, then inJaleco'sPro Sport Hockey and later Sega'sNHL All-Star Hockey '95, both for theSega Genesis (Healy also appeared on the cover of theGame Gear release ofNHL All-Star Hockey). Healy andWayne Gretzky are the only two players to appear on at least three different video game franchise's covers (Healy is playing for a different team in all three covers).
After his long playing career he served as hockeycolour commentator and studio analyst, first for theCBC and then forTSN. He also served as the secondary colour commentator forTSN Hockey and as an ice-level reporter for TSN's regionalToronto Maple Leafs telecasts. At the start of the2009–10 NHL season, he moved back to analyzing games for CBC'sHockey Night in Canada before he joined theNHL on Sportsnet crew in 2014.
Healy created the "Loch Ness Monster" hockey analysis segment for TSN, in which he picked a player (or players) who was supposed to be a key player that night but did not turn out to be (thetagline being that the player is "the monster you hear about but don't see"). Bagpipes can be heard in the background and the chosen player is dubbed "tonight's Nessie". One notable occurrence was the March 29, 2008, broadcast of theBoston Bruins' 4-0 win over theOttawa Senators, where Healy selected the entire Senators team that night as the "Nessie". The segment's title is a parody of fellow analystPierre McGuire's "Monster" segment, which focuses on a player's whose contributions have been particularly effective.
Healy was also a colour analyst for the2007 Casino Rama Curling Skins Game finals on TSN.
In June 2016,Rogers Media announced that Healy would be among the eight cut fromHockey Night in Canada.[4]
