| Sharks Radio Play-By-Play Broadcaster, Dan Rusanowsky: -July, 2007. "Scott Hannan is an excellent, steady defenseman who logs a lot of ice time and is an important part of every one of his teams." |
| Director of Fan Development/The Sharks Foundation, Rob Jaynes: -July, 2007. "In my opinion, there is no legitimate or quantifiable end to any conversation on how to begin "replacing" Scott Hannan along the San Jose Sharks blue-line. As athletes enter and leave respective markets teams are perpetually faced with how to best fill holes in their respective rosters. What sets Scott apart is that he remains one of the rare athletes in the "new" NHL that still embody the commitment, work ethic and integrity of his predecessors. Upon arriving in San Jose via the entry draft he seized an opportunity to learn the nuances of what it takes to be a "pro" from a few of the NHL's true warriors: Gary Suter, Bryan Marchment, Tony Granato and Adam Graves. Blending God-given talent, meticulous preparation and a very real and honest respect for his NHL brethren Scott made it his duty to pay homage to those that preceded him by coming to play every night. He was always at his best when the games meant the most. He consistently drew the opposition's best player or line and excelled in his role of shutting them down. His commitment to his teammates, proactive participation in charity causes, dynamic locker room presence and a genuinely unique sense of humor will be sorely missed by the entire Sharks Organization. Most of all, however, I will miss my friend." |
