Canucks’ Ontario area scout Phil Golding deals with snow storms, double headers and phone work .

Golding has a unique perspective, and his Ontario hockey knowledge is deep.

A Guelph native and self-proclaimed hockey nerd, he obsessed over the NHL Draft and prospect evaluation at a young age. He played growing up and knew he wanted to work on the business operations side. During his 12-year career with the Guelph Storm, head coach Scott Walker and general manager Mike Kelly noticed his knack for hockey knowledge gave him his start as a scout for Western Ontario. The Storm won the OHL championship in 2019 and Golding made the jump to the Canucks that same year.
