About This Speaker

John Scott made waves across the NHL and greater sports world when a lighthearted campaign to vote him in as an NHL All-Star caught fire and the world came to know him as a journeyman defenceman. Undrafted, his career started as a walk-on in 2016 and spanned 10 years until his recent retirement.

Born in Edmonton but raised in St. Catharines, Ontario, John graduated from Michigan Tech University with a mechanical engineering degree. After graduation, he made a dream become reality with hard work and physical play. Known as an enforcer on the ice, John is even more concerned with being the best man he can be off-ice as a team leader, committed volunteer and father. John and his wife Danielle have four wonderful daughters: Eva, Gabrielle, Estelle, and Sofia.

Enormously popular with crowds across North America, John is available for talks and appearances now.
