Posted by adn_aces

Congrats to former UAA Seawolves winger Glen Thornborough, who after eight years in the ECHL front office has been hired by Reebok-CCM, which manufactures hockey equipment and apparel.

Thornborough, 36, will be vice president of sports marketing for Reebok-CCM. For the past three seasons, he has been the ECHL's senior vice president of marketing/business development. And for five seasons before that, he was the league's vice president of marketing and sales.

Thornborough, who graduated from UAA (he played there from 1992-96), later earned a executive MBA from Saint Joseph's University. He played a couple of years of pro hockey before getting into the business side of the game.
