Scott Mellanby on The Cam and Strick Podcast

Scott Mellanby played over 1,400 games in his NHL career, so he might have one or two stories to share. If you don't know much about Mellanby and how competitive he was as a player, google him. He fought tough guys, scored goals, and was one of the best leaders of his generation. His post-playing career has been just as impressive. From scouting to coaching to working in management, Mellanby has put his playing experience to good use. He's now the Assistant General Manager of the Montreal Canadians and hoping to get a shot at running his own team. Mellanby opens up about the disappointment of not winning a Stanley Cup as a player and how that may have impacted his inability to land a GM job. Mellanby did play in two Stanley Cup finals during his career including in 1996 where he famously killed a rat in the Panthers dressing room which started a full-on rat hysteria in south Florida. He talks about his experience growing up with his father Ralph who was the long-time Executive Producer of Hockey Night in Canada and is responsible for hiring the legendary Don Cherry. We go deep with Scott Mellanby on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.
