Glenn Allan "Chico" Resch (born July 10, 1948) is a Canadian American retired professional ice hockey goaltender and television sportscaster. He played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1973 to 1986, winning one Stanley Cup with the New York Islanders in 1980. He has served as the color commentator for New Jersey Devils telecasts on MSG Network and MSG Plus.
Resch started his playing career as goalie for the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. After earning a four-year degree in education, he turned pro by joining the Muskegon Mohawks of the IHL where he won three prestigious awards in his first season: the James Norris Memorial Trophy (fewest goals against), rookie of the year honours, and selected as a First-Team All-Star.
Having outgrown the IHL, the following year he stepped up to play for the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League and then spent most of the 1973–74 season playing for the Fort Worth Wings of the CHL where he won the league's MVP Honours and was voted as a CHL First Team All Star. He made his National Hockey League debut for the Islanders on February 3, 1974 in a 4–2 defeat to the California Golden Seals and earned his first NHL victory two nights later, with a 6–2 win over the Minnesota North Stars before returning to the Wings for the remainder of the season.
