Glaves played for the St. Catharines Athletics in the OLA Junior A Lacrosse League from 1999 to 2003. He quickly earned a reputation as one of the best defensive players in the game. In 2003, Glaves was given the "Dean McLeod Award" for Playoffs M.V.P. He was also awarded the "John McCauley Award" for Best Defensive Player two years in a row. During his five-year tenure with the Athletics, Glaves helped lead the team to three straight league championships and two Minto Cups.

Shortly before the beginning of the 2005 NLL season, the Ravens folded, and Glaves was selected second overall in the dispersal draft by the Anaheim Storm.
