Scott's story, however, captured the essence of dedication to Canada's favourite sport," said Mark Collins, vice president, marketing, Cisco Canada. "In addition to a busy full-time job working with people with disabilities and helping them re-enter the workforce, Scott dedicates every night to guiding kids to not only be better hockey players, but to believe in themselves.
