Curtis Glencross was never supposed to be a professional hockey player, at least based upon his background and status as a late-bloomer.

He had a strong stint with the AJHL's Brooks bandits but was never really considered an NHL Draft candidate, so he went the way many players go when their NHL dreams are fading - to college.
