JOHN SCOTT VS ROB RAY
KEYBANK CENTER

John Scott and Rob Ray are two NHL players best known for their roles as tough, physical enforcers who brought both personality and grit to the teams they represented. Rob Ray, who spent the majority of his career with the Buffalo Sabres, became a fan favorite for his willingness to drop the gloves and protect teammates, ultimately leading to the league creating the “Rob Ray Rule” to limit players removing their jerseys during fights. John Scott, who played for several teams including the Sabres and became an unlikely hockey folk hero, gained widespread attention when he was voted into the 2016 NHL All-Star Game—an event in which he not only participated but shined, earning MVP honors. Though neither was known for scoring, both Scott and Ray left a lasting legacy in the league through their toughness, humor, and memorable moments on and off the ice.
