NHL lockout turns linesman
into substitute school teacher
By Jason Middleton
Expositor Staff
What's the difference
between being a National
Hockey League linesman
and a teacher at a high
school?
That's something
that NHL linesman
Scott Driscoll has
learned in the past
five months as he
has been out of a job
since the general
managers in the
NHL imposed a
lockout on its
players last fall.
"If a hockey player gets on
your nerves, you can give
them a penalty or get in
their way," said Driscoll
during a telephone interview
from his Guelph home. "You
can't do that with students."
During the first three or
four months of the lockout,
Driscoll, who was born and
raised in Seaforth, said that
he was training on a daily
basis and played hockey to
keep his legs strong.
"It became apparent
around Christmas things
were not looking good
and I better start pursuing
something in the
employment field," he said.
So, Driscoll decided to
dust off his teacher's college
diploma and apply to
become a substitute teacher
in the Guelph area.
In January,
Driscoll was
hired to become
a substitute
teacher and three
weeks later he
was hired as a
temporary math
teacher at the
school where his
wife, Coleen,
works as a
teacher.
After the teacher he took
over for came back, Driscoll
became a substitute teacher
again only to be re -hired as a
math teacher at the same
school in mid-April.
Although many of the
schools students were aware
that Driscoll's wife worked
at the school, many were
surprised when the linesman
turned teacher started
working at their school.
"Word spread pretty fast,
but to them I was just a
teacher and that's all I really
want to be," Driscoll said.
In the past, Driscoll had
been a guest speaker at the
school talking to the students
about the importance of
education,
talking
about his
career and
about the
violence in
hockey.
As for
the NHL,
Driscoll
said that
he hopes a
settlement.
comes
soon but
he doesn't
have much
to say
about it.
"It's disappointing. I never
thought it would come to
cancelling an entire season,"
he said, adding he thought it
would be similar to the 1994
lockout where the players
and owners came to an
agreement and never lost the
season.
"It's disappointing, but it's
big business and they are
doing what they have to do,"
Driscoll said.
After talking to people at
the charity games he's
officiated or at the guest
speaking engagements he's
done, Driscoll said that he
has been
asked
what he's
doing with
all his
spare time
now.
The
truth,
Driscoll
said, is
that he's
busier now
than he
has ever
been.
He
said that
the silver lining to the
lockout is that he is able to
be with his family.
In the winter, Driscoll
coached his nine-year-old
son's hockey team and is
now coaching his baseball
team. He also took his
younger son skating every
week and was around for his
daughter's recent birthday.
Usually, Driscoll said,
he'd be involved in
officiating playoff games at
this time of the year.
