A Guy Like Me: Fighting to Make the Cut

This is the story of NHL hockey legend, John Scott, the ultimate underdog who, in 2016, went from a not-so-serious All-Star fan-voted nominee to a two-goal scoring sensation who won the All-Star Game’s MVP title.

If you love stories about Average Joes becoming overnight heroes, this is for you. It’s the story of Scott’s life growing up and how he kept his sense of humour to become a hockey legend.

The personal memoir takes us on Scott’s journey from a ready and willing fighter to nominee for NHL All-Star Game. Scott had spent 8 seasons in the NHL, playing for a myriad of well-known teams, but he was better known for dropping his gloves rather than being best player. Yet, he went on to become a fierce fighter and after being downgraded in his career, he rose to be a largely loved player and superstar. It’s a Cinderella-like story that is well worth the read.
