The below is taken from the MyTurn4ALS Facebook page. I think it sums up the man perfectly.
Early this morning, Scott passed away surrounded by friends and family. He left this world on his own terms refusing to allow ALS (or anyone) to dictate how he would skate his final shift. His tenacity, generous heart and sense of humor remained with him until the end, his final words perfectly punctuated by a high eyebrow raise, laughter in his eyes and a flash of that incredible smile.
To say he will be missed is to drastically minimize what the loss of this extraordinary man represents...instead we remain grateful to have lived, loved and laughed with him. His magnetism was unparalleled, and to be in his presence was to witness grace, dedication and loyalty.
Being in Scott's presence was a feeling like no other. When he laughed, truly laughed it was infectious and impossible to resist, and his zeal for living was at times superhuman. For 40 years he gave his absolute best to every game, every job, every task and every relationship. He played to win, and went into every faceoff resolute in his ability to emerge victorious. In this last challenge his victory was incontestable - through an indomitable will he spread his message of perseverance, compassion and empathy. We will never know his equal.
