He is also responsible for all on ice components of the Development Camp, which takes place in Vegas every June and plays a large roll in the rookie and main camps in September as well. Another feather in Scott’s cap is the role he accepted in 2017 as the Director of Skill and Player Development with the hometown Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League. In this role he is in charge of all on ice skill development with the players both in small group settings as well as during or after practices.One of the best qualities of Scott is his passion for the game and seeing each individual player improve and succeed. It doesn’t matter if the player is in the NHL, or just learning to skate, he shows the same time and effort while assisting them on reaching their goals.
