Scott had a gift and a passion for playing hockey and became an above average hockey player. On more than one occasion, Scott was told he had “Magic Hands”. During his youth, Scott was fortunate enough to have played in Finland and on the Olympic ice in Lake Placid, New York. A few of the teams Scott was very proud to be part of were, The South Shore Kings, The Baystate Sharks, and the Jr. Bruins. Scott continued playing hockey throughout high school with The Quincy High Presidents.

In 2004 Scott had surgery on his shoulder to correct an injury caused by his years of playing hockey. After surgery Scott was put on prescription pain medication. Unfortunately, like many patients, Scott found himself addicted. The addiction escalated and Scott was left to fight the most difficult battle of his life. He fought long and hard but on that February morning, through years of battling with the demon, drugs took Scott away from us. We are sharing Scott’s story so hopefully you will realize the horrible effects prescription drugs can cause.
