He played for the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Saint Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota North Stars, and Edmonton Oilers (in their WHA incarnation).
Sather played 3 seasons starting in 1964 with the CPHL Memphis Wings and Oklahoma City Blazers, joining the Bruins at the end of the 1966-67 season and playing in 5 games. He earned the nickname "Slats" because of his gritty style of play.
Sather played 10 full seasons in the NHL and another season in the WHA.
He played 739 regular season games as a pro, scoring 99-146-245 and earned 801 penalties in minutes. In the playoffs he added 77 games played and scored 2-6-8 with 88PIM. His career as a player ended at the conclusion of the 1976-77 WHA season.
Sather became head coach of the NHL Oilers in 1979 and took them to the first round of the playoffs in their inaugural season. This was the start of a tremendous run for the Oilers, who became a genuine NHL dynasty with him as the coach and general manager. The team made the playoffs with Sather as head coach from 1979-80 until 1984-85. From 1985 until 1989, Sather split coaching duties with John Muckler, but retained the title of head coach. With Sather at the helm in various duties, the team won five Stanley Cups in seven years, after losing in the finals to the New York Islanders in 1983.
In 2000, Sather left the Oilers organisation and joined the Rangers to become their President and General Manager, a position he currently holds despite not making the playoffs during his first four years at Madison Square Garden. He also has coached the Rangers for 90 games (33-46-11) in that timespan.
Outside of the NHL, Sather has been instrumental in building Canadian national teams for the World Cup of Hockey (1996), the Canada Cup (1994), and the World Hockey Championships (1994).
Glen Sather was admitted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997, and as of January 2005 is currently the NHL's longest-tenured general manager.
