Glennis Scott was a multi-sport star at Brandon College in the 1960's in hockey and football. His talents as a player were equally matched by his superb skills as a coach, manager and administrator following his days on campus.

Scott spent two seasons with the College Caps hockey team where he played alongside his older brother Gladwyn, who is a previous inductee into the BU Sports Wall of Fame.

Glennis had a team-leading 33 goals and 53 points during the 1961-62 season where the Caps finished in second-place in the Southwest Hockey League and played exhibition games against the Saskatchewan Huskies and Manitoba Bisons.

On the gridiron, Scott was also a standout and was selected to the All-Time Caps Football Team.

Scott's success also led to his induction into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.

He played 15 years in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League and represented Canada at numerous international events including the 1967 Pan American Games in Winnipeg.

Major League Baseball scouts saw the talent he had and the St. Louis Cardinals invited him to attend spring training, but Scott turned down the opportunity to focus his efforts on becoming an educator.

Scott would leave an indelible mark on the school system as a teacher, principal and superintendent over the course of 35 years.

Scott was associated with Baseball Manitoba for some 30 years and held various roles including president. His tenure with Baseball Canada also came full circle as he served as coach and president of the national program.
