John Scott: From Zero To Hero

John Scott managed to win the All-Star Game and every hockey fan’s heart in a matter of weeks.

There probably aren’t many hockey fans who don’t know John Scott’s name or how the underdog went from being one of the most hated players in the league to becoming the champion of the NHL. But that wasn’t the case a few short weeks ago.

Scott isn’t a conventional hockey player. He’s a part of a dying breed: the enforcers. After a nine year NHL career, Scott only has five goals to his name, but has accumulated a total 542 penalty minutes.
