MIDDLESEX TWP —Connor Scott helps grow his family's love of hockey by serving as a chauffeur.

The senior forward for the Butler hockey team spends time during the week driving his younger brothers, who are 10 and 12, to hockey practice.

He takes one to ice hockey practice in New Kensington and the other to roller hockey at Family Sports Center.

Between high school and club hockey, Scott doesn't get a chance to see them play as much as he'd like.

There's not enough time in the day.

“I think that taught me to care for each other,” Scott said. “It's not about you. It's about other people, too.”

Helping out by taking on a bigger role is something Scott is accustomed to by now. Hit with losses up front due to graduation, Scott was asked to carry a heavy share of the scoring load for the Golden Tornado.

Through five games, he's helped Butler skate to a 4-0-1 record and he leads the PIHL with 11 points (five goals, six assists).

“It's in his personality to be there for others and step up,” Butler senior defensman Jonathan Fair said. “He's a selfless player and not that it won't reflect personally, he doesn't play for himself out there. He plays for his brothers.”

Should his scoring pace continue, Scott could challenge for Butler's all-time scoring record, which is currently held by Derek Black, who finished with 121 career points.

Scott has 74 career points (34 goals, 40 assists) and said he's comfortable with trying to generate more offense.

“I think I have. My dad has been on me and I've been trying to help out as much as I can,” Scott said. “I want to put the puck in the net and provide for everyone and team. It might be scoring or hits, I just want to provide for team.”

Scott feels a need to play for Butler.

After playing in a club tournament for the Pittsburgh Selects, Scott along with Jonathan Fair, Marcus McCall and Dustin Davis hustled back from Philadelphia to play against North Allegheny.

Scott scored a goal in the Golden Tornado's 10-4 loss.

“My legs weren't the best,” Scott said. “They were kind of tight, but we went out and played our hardest and gave our best effort.”

Scott started playing hockey at Family Sports Center at his dad's urging and ended up playing in older age groups with his brother Dalton.

That left him as one of the smaller players on those team's. So he had to be a little tougher.

“I think it made me develop as being a little more aggressive,” Scott said. “I couldn't be scared because I would be pushed off the puck.”

Scott was second on the team in scoring as a sophomore and junior, recording 33 and 30 points, respectively.

Second-year Butler coach Patrick Hammonds has been impressed with his offensive abilities.

“It's amazing a kid with his talent has a 200-foot game,” Hammonds said. “His play without the puck is just as good if not better as his play with the puck. You won't see him lose many battles or get beat on the backcheck.”

Scott is willing to do whatever on the ice to help out his teammates. Just like he does to help his little brothers grow their hockey careers.

“There have been so many times he's had to go places and is taking care of his brothers,” Fair said. “He's just as responsible on the ice as he is in the real world. Hockey is important and all, but your character is mostly reflected on how you carry yourself through life.”
