Scott Gomez went from a Devils rookie standout to their top center to hated for signing with a rival to redemption before hanging up the skates. I look back at Gomez’s career.
Last week, through this article by Doyle Woody at the Alaska Dispatch News, I learned that Scott Gomez has called it a career. The Galloping Ghost from the Alaskan Coast rode all the way from Airport Heights and ended back up there with a very successful time in the NHL. Woody’s article is a good summary as any of what Gomez has done. He won the Calder in 2000, won two Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils in 2000 and 2003, went to a third Stanley Cup Final in 2001, played in over 1,000 games, earned 756 points, and played for seven different organizations.
