The Brock community is mourning a popular hockey player who died suddenly two days ago.
Vince Scott, 23, of Mississauga was killed in a car crash in Thorold on April 28. Scott was an honour student and the leading scorer of the Brock Badgers hockey team this season.
Scott was a second-year Business Administration student who transferred to Brock from the University of Prince Edward Island. He was selected Most Valuable Player by his team in 2009/10, and participated in community initiatives like Brock’s “Little Badgers on Blades” hockey school.
“Vinny had an engaging personality. Our conversations would start with hockey but seemed to evolve into a discussion of our families,” Brock coach Murray Nystrom told gobadgers.ca. “I will always remember his wit and welcoming smile.”
Scott is survived by his parents, Bob and Sue Scott of Mississauga, and was a brother to Jenn, Tina and Paul. Memorial donations are being given to the Children’s Wish Foundation and Right to Play.
