ELMIRA, NY -- The Elmira Jackals, proud member of the ECHL, announced today they have signed Cornell forward Topher Scott.  Scott is expected to make his professional debut Tuesday when the Jackals host the Trenton Devils (7:05 p.m. - First Arena).

Scott, 22, completed his collegiate career with Cornell University last weekend at the ECAC Championship in Albany, New York.  Durable despite his diminutive stature (5'6", 160 pounds), the Buffalo Grove, Illinois native did not miss a single game in his career with the Big Red.  Appearing in 137 games, Scott posted 25 goals and 82 assists for 107 points during his stay in Ithaca.

Never finishing lower than fourth in team scoring with Cornell, Scott's 30 points led the 2006-2007 club and he led or tied for the team lead in assists in all but his freshman campaign.  Scott was a member of the 2004-2005 Ivy League and ECAC (Regular Season and Tournament) champions that advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
