Playing career

edit

Glauser completed all youth levels at HC Fribourg-Gottéron[1] and made his debut in the National League A (NLA) in the 2015/16 season. He also gained additional playing experience with National League B (NLB) teams through B-license agreements between Fribourg-Gottéron and HC Ajoie[2] as well as HC Thurgau.[3]

In early November 2017, the SCL Tigers announced they had signed Glauser for the 2018/19 season.[4] For the 2021/22 season, he would be signed by Lausanne HC,[5] with whom he became runner-up in the 2024 and 2025 spring seasons. The following summer, Glauser's return to his former club in Fribourg was announced, where he signed a seven-year contract beginning in the 2025/26 season.[6][7]
