Scott Scissons (born October 29, 1971) is a
1990 NHL Entry Draft. While a high percentage of players selected in the first round of that draft went on to productive National Hockey League
(NHL) careers, Scissons was one of the few busts, playing just two regular season NHL games (none of the other top eight picks in the 1990 draft played fewer than 909 games in the NHL) and one playoff game, going scoreless in all.
Scissons was chosen ahead of many players who went on to long NHL careers, including: Darryl Sydor, Derian Hatcher, Peter Bondra, Doug Weight and Keith Tkachuk, and Martin Brodeur.[1]
During his three seasons in the
World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. Scissons made his NHL debut with the Islanders, appearing in one game at the end of the 1990–91 season. He then spent the 1991–92 season playing with the Canadian National Hockey Team, and during a game with the Montreal Canadiens injured his shoulder in a check by John LeClair. However, he was not chosen to represent Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics.[2]
