Mike has truly come full circle. Growing up in Calgary, he got into officiating as a teenager and soon found himself on a fast track to the NHL. In 1986, he arrived and stayed in the league for 30 years. Now back home in Calgary, he is working to help groom the next generation of officials. We talk a lot about the evolution of the rules in the game and still find some time to talk about one of Mike’s real passions: Stampede wrestling.

Scott was born in Calgary and returned first to go to journalism school, then later to work at the Calgary Herald.

Those who know him are probably surprised that Scott and Rob Kerr chatted for nearly 2 hours, but it turns out he has a lot to say.
