SAN JOSE – One of the bigger stories out of the NHL over the weekend had nothing to do with goals, assists or wins.
On Saturday, the league revealed that former Sharks enforcer and current Coyotes forward John Scott had been selected as the captain for the Pacific Division at the upcoming NHL All-Star Game in Nashville at the end of the month.
Online fan voting was held from Dec. 1 – Jan. 1 to determine the four captains. Also includes are Florida’s Jaromir Jagr, Chicago’s Patrick Kane and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin.
The support for Scott was driven by various online NHL blogs, including Yahoo’s popular Puck Daddy.
