Scott Gomez (born December 23, 1979) is an American professional ice hockey center of both Mexican and Colombian descent, currently playing for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career

In the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Scott Gomez was selected with the 27th pick of the first round by the New Jersey Devils. He is the first Latino NHL player, and the first Latino ever drafted by an NHL team.[1] His father is Mexican-American and his mother is Colombian-American.[2] At the time, he was playing for the Tri-City Americans of the WHL, and had just been named to the WHL's All-Rookie Team. In the season after he was drafted, he justified the Devils' decision by scoring 108 points in 58 games for the Americans. This earned him a spot on the WHL West First All-Star Team. The year before, Gomez led the South Surrey Eagles of the Tier II Junior "A" British Columbia Hockey League to the bronze medal game of the 1997 Royal Bank Cup against the hometown Summerside Western Capitals, but Gomez and his South Surrey Eagles were defeated 4-3. After this impressive WHL performance, he was brought to New Jersey for the 19992000 NHL season. In his rookie NHL season he had 51 assists and 70 points for the Devils. For his efforts, he was awarded the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie and played in the NHL All-Star Game. Gomez scored 10 points in the 2000 NHL playoffs as the Devils won their second Stanley Cup.

In his sophomore season, Gomez totalled 63 points. The Devils again made their way to the Stanley Cup Finals, but were defeated by the Colorado Avalanche in seven games. In the 200102 season, Gomez's numbers dropped, as he scored just 10 goals and 48 points. The Devils bowed out of the playoffs in the first round that season, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes. Gomez did not play a game in that series due to injury. The 200203 NHL season was an improvement for Gomez and the Devils. Gomez tallied 5 points and again helped the Devils win the Stanley Cup, this time scoring 12 points during the playoffs. The 200304 season was an even better year for Gomez, as he scored 70 points, the most since his rookie year. He also tied for the NHL lead in assists, with 56. However, the Devils lost in the playoffs to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Despite the lockout, Gomez returned to form in 20052006 and set career highs in goals scored and points, tallying a total of 84 points. Along with linemates Brian Gionta, Patrik Eliáš and, before Eliáš' comeback, Zach Parise, Gomez helped rally the Devils from a poor beginning of the season by finishing the season on an 11 game winning streak and clinching the division title in the last game. Gomez finished the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs with five goals and four assists in nine games. On July 25, 2006, Devils General Manager Lou Lamoriello accepted an arbitrator's ruling of a $5,000,000, one-year contract for Gomez for the 20062007 season. Hence, he would go on to be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2007. During the 200607 NHL season he led the Devils to the second round of the playoffs and totalled 60 points. Gomez scored the final goal ever at Continental Airlines Arena on May 5, 2007.

On February 1, 2008, in a game against his former club, the Devils, Gomez recorded his 500th career point by assisting on a Chris Drury goal.

On June 30, 2009, Gomez was traded by the Rangers, along with Tom Pyatt and Michael Busto, to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Christopher Higgins, Doug Janik, Ryan McDonagh, and Pavel Valentenko.[7] This trade also reunites Gomez with former Devils' teammate Brian Gionta.

Meanwhile Rangers lose to the Islanders.

Price has been the bomb since the beginning of the season. The only ''off'' game he had was actually the team playing terribly.

[habs4life41]

[coronaisbetter]

@MrAudacity11

This trade was a complete fail

[killnickelback]

Gomez is fucking useless, 7.5 fucking million.

[HockeyGamer94]

Gomez is shame to number #11 :(

[con310]

I think gomez should be in the MVP running this year, not for his goal scoring but he is just the glue that holds the habs together and he will be there star and best player for the next 10 years.

[MJFanatic96]

Oct 23, 2011:

Scott Gomez - 6 games, 0g, 1a

Ryan McDonagh - 6 games 2g, 2a

McDonagh turning out to be a VERY NICE defenseman for the NYR while Gomez still has two more years after this of 7.3 million. Good job! :p

[trumsolon]

Gomez still has his two main skills, speed and vision, intact. The problem with his game at the moment is mental... he needs to get back to going straight for the net.
