We are dedicating this year to Scott Walroth

For many years, Scott Walroth was the driving force behind the adult hockey group known as the Silver Skaters. Scott died in June 2024 at age 65 from complications due to multiple myeloma.

This year our team will skate under the name “Scott’s Silver Skaters” as a tribute to him and all he did to make our group successful. Any contribution made in Scott’s honor will be matched up to $3,500 by Capital Cup for Kids, Inc. This donation will go to The Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center to support families with a child facing long-term illness.

Scott was involved in adult hockey in the Capital region for many years. For a long time he organized a group that met in the early mornings at Union College. More recently, he was in charge of our Silver Skaters group that meets twice a week in Schenectady. He was responsible for setting the lineups each day, ensuring we had 20 skaters, 2 goalies and even teams. He did this flawlessly, even as he was undergoing medical treatment.

Scott played for many years in the Capital Cup hockey tournament. From 2011-2015 Scott played for the Mighty Crappie team. He then started to play for the Over the Hill team in the Masters division.

We are grateful Scott was able to play for our team in the 2023 Capital Cup, the first year the Silver Skaters participated as a group in the tournament. It meant a lot to him, in the midst of his treatments, to be able to play the game he loved with his friends.

We hope the entire adult hockey community will celebrate the life of Scott Walroth. It is because of people like Scott that we get to play the sport we love.

We encourage you to donate in Scott Walroth’s honor at this year’s Capital Cup hockey tournament to support The Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center.
