Curator's Comment
Athletic since childhood, Scott Johnson excelled at ice hockey. While playing for his high school’s team in Montclair, New Jersey, he attracted his own fan club of followers. At one game, as Scott skated onto the ice to the sound of his friends chanting his name, a rival player knocked him into one of the rink walls, prompting the rest of the crowd to emit a startled “Oh!” Thereafter, his friends assigned him the nickname Scott-O.
