Congratulations to Scott Shaw, who will celebrate his 600th game for Footscray this Sunday at 3:30pm at home in Premier League.
Scott’s hockey journey began in 1998 as a Footscray junior, where over the years he was recognised as Junior Club Champion and earned selection in Victorian representative teams.
He quickly progressed through the senior ranks and has now been a cornerstone of our Men’s Firsts for more than 15 years.
A career highlight came in the 2011 State League 2 Premiership, where he successfully converted two penalty strokes to help secure the flag and the clubs promotion to State League 1 (now known as premier league). He has also twice finished runner-up in the Men’s Firsts Best and Fairest.
In recent years, Scott has been a respected leader, serving as vice-captain and playing an integral role in the club’s leadership group.
Known for his passion for finding the back of the net, Scott never misses the chance to celebrate a goal and has been his team’s leading goal scorer for multiple consecutive seasons. Off the field, he’s just as passionate about the game—always happy to chat hockey with anyone, especially after a few beers.
Congratulations, on reaching the incredible milestone of 600 games in the red white and blue.
We wish you all the best for Sunday’s match
