Happy Birthday to Columbus Blue Jacket Scott Harrington

Scott Harrington was born on this day 24 years ago in Kingston, Ontario. Harrington is a young yet talented blue liner for the Blue Jackets, formerly of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Scott was drafted 54th overall in 2011 by the Penguins but was traded to Toronto in the deal that would move star forward and eternal meme Phil Kessel to the Steel City. The young defenseman was then traded to Ohio’s capital last June.

Harrington has played 39 career games in the NHL, scoring his first and only goal in a 7-6 overtime victory against the Ottawa Senators earlier this year.
