Scott Daniels (born September 19, 1969) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. A Mistawasis First Nation aboriginal, Daniels was nicknamed “Chief” by his teammates due to his full-blooded Cree Indian background. At the age of 17, Daniels started his hockey career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) playing left wing for the Kamloops Blazers in 1986, and continued to play in the WHL for the New Westminster Bruins and then the Regina Pats until 1990. Daniels was the 136th draft pick overall, for the Hartford Whalers, in 1989, but did not play his first National Hockey League (NHL) game until 1993. Daniels stood out to his coaches in his debut game by accumulating nineteen minutes in penalties however, he continued to play in the American Hockey League (AHL) for the Springfield Indians until his second NHL game, in the 1994-95 season, again for the Hartford Whalers. In 1996 Daniels was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, and later to the New Jersey Devils in 1997 where he played for two years before retiring from the NHL.
