Scott Drevitch (born 9 September 1965) is an American former ice hockey and roller hockey defenseman.

Ice hockey

Following a collegiate career with the University of Maine Black Bears and the University of Lowell Riverhawks, Drevitch was assigned to the Boston Bruins' East Coast Hockey League affiliate Maine Mariners. He played a full season for the Mariners, showing the offensive flair he would enjoy throughout his playing days, but concerns about size in an era where smaller, more mobile defensemen were not the norm saw him spending four of his first five professional seasons almost entirely in the ECHL.

Drevitch ultimately spent most of 18 seasons in the mid- to low-minor leagues. He played five seasons with the Tacoma Sabercats of the West Coast Hockey League, and was the career leader in games played, assists and scoring for the franchise; he also played three seasons for the Adirondack Frostbite of the United Hockey League, as well as playing for a number of teams in the ECHL, the IHL, UHL, ECHL, and WCHL, but never the NHL. He also played in Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands.

His final season was in 2007 with the Elmira Jackals of the UHL; at the time of his retirement, he was the final player for the Albany Choppers, New Haven Nighthawks and Maine Mariners franchises active in pro hockey.

Roller hockey

Drevitch played five seasons of major league inline hockey with Roller Hockey International playing with the Atlanta Fire Ants (1994), Oklahoma Coyotes (1995 and 1996), Los Angeles Blades (1997) and San Jose Rhinos (1999).{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=1431 |title=Scott Drevitch Hockey Stats and Profile |website=hockeydb.com}}
