Beijing 08/08/08 Contender

The D League's very own Scott Brueck plays rough & tumble hockey every Sunday night for 11 to 7 Insurance. "He's an animal out there." stated teammate Gardner.

But there is a softer side to this "tough guy". Every day, you can find Brueck practicing with great intensity down at Brenton Plaza. However, he's not working on his slap shot, but rather his triple salchow. "I know I can make the 08 Winter Games, but its gonna take alot of work." confidently stated Brueck.

Brueck works on his technique at lunch every day, and often works with a female skater in a pairs routine. He has mentioned that if he cannot make it in the singles event, the pairs competition is always an option. "He's a powerful & emotional skater", proclaimed Michelle Kwan. "I never would have thought of doing pairs, but Scott elevates me to a whole new level."

Pictured here is Brueck working with Kwan on a snowy Iowa day. Feel free to stop by and watch Scott practice, but please no flash photography or autograph requests during his practice session. "I only have 1 hour per day and no coach" said Brueck. "I can't afford any distractions."

Good Luck Scott (and maybe Kwan), Alien Hockey supports you!
