Scott Scissons is a former National Hockey League centre. He was drafted in the first round, sixth overall, by the New York Islanders in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. While a high percentage of players selected in the first round of that draft went on to productive NHL careers, Scissons was one of the few busts, playing just two NHL games. 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. Current New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur was also selected after him. After playing three seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Saskatoon Blades, 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. However, he was not chosen to represent Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics. Scissons spent the 1992?93 season playing with the Islanders' AHL affiliate, the Capital District Islanders. He did, however, appear in one game with New York during the 1993 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
