Niagara, ON – The Niagara IceDogs have announced Scott Wasson as the Central Ontario Regional Scout ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Scott brings an extensive hockey background to the IceDogs organization. His playing career included playing at Mt Allison University in the Atlantic University Sport League, where he captured the Rookie of the Year honours in 1987, along with a brief stint playing semi-pro in Germany for the Pforzheim Sharks. From 2011-2014 Scott worked as an advisor for The Players Group hockey agency. His role was to identify hockey players who may have the potential to play professional hockey and prepare them to enter the Ontario Hockey League and then guide them up into the professional ranks.

For the last 12 years, Scott has also been actively involved in coaching minor hockey in Peterborough Ontario at various levels. His accomplishments include leading his team to an OHA silver medal in 2011 and coaching his U14 team to an OMHA Championship in 2020.

“I am honoured that Darren and Adam have included me in this next chapter for the IceDogs”, said Wasson. “My goal is to add value and contribute to the IceDogs scouting team and establish the winning tradition that the Niagara Region expects and deserves”.
