AHL enforcer John Scott was not only a part of the 2016 NHL All-Star Game. He was also the captain of his team.
It all started out as a joke, brought to life by Yahoo! Sports blogger Greg Wyshinsky. From a December article:

But in the grand list of “reasons to care about the 2016 NHL All-Star Game,” watching John Scott of the Arizona Coyotes lug his ass up and down the rink in a 3-on-3 tournament with the best offensive players in the world ranks near the top.
