BIO

For over 26 years, Scott has worked with thousands of hockey players and coaches from all over the world. His clientele includes a multitude of premiere hockey players that play in the world's top leagues including many NHL, European and National Team players. He has been contracted by professional agents to develop and implement summer development programs for their clients. His international experience includes working with Ice Hockey Australia’s National Team Development Programs. He has presented at countless coaching clinics and seminars throughout Canada and internationally in addition to being a guest lecturer for two semesters at the University of Saskatchewan.
