Maple Leafs beam up Scott in NHL Draft
Prince Albert Raiders goaltender Ian Scott donned a red maple leaf on his sweater for a number of occasions representing Team Canada — now he can proudly wear a blue one.
Scot was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the fourth round, 110th overall, in the NHL Entry Draft Saturday in Chicago.
“It’s pretty exciting. I mean, it’s the Toronto Maple Leafs,” Scott said. “They’re an Original Six team, they’ve been around forever. They’re a big name in hockey and it’s just unreal.
“They were a team I talked to quite a bit,” Scott added. “They definitely showed their interest in having me a part of their organization. They told me that when I talked to them after. It’s really exciting that they trust me and they want to take me into their organization.”
