Adam Scott didn’t expect his athletic path to lead him headfirst down a sheet of ice at nearly 100 kilometres an hour, but the first time he climbed off a skeleton sled in Calgary last summer, the political-science student felt something click.<\/p>\n

“I got up out of the sled and I just was like on cloud nine,” Scott told Black Press Media. “It felt like I was flying.”<\/p>\n

That moment helped steer the 21-year-old away from soccer, the sport he’d played for 18 years, and toward one of the most specialized, least conventional athletic avenues in Canadian sport.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 19, the Surrey product was officially named to the Canadian Skeleton NextGen program, one of 10 men and six women selected nationally.<\/p>\n
