Rory "Scott" Daniels (born September 19, 1969) is a Mistawasis First Nation aboriginal, and a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player. Daniels was nicknamed Chief by his teammates due to his full-blooded Cree Indian background. At the age of seventeen, Daniels started his hockey career in the Western Hockey League (WHL) playing left winger for the Kamloop Blazers in 1986, and continued to play in the WHL for New Westminster Bruins and Regina Pats until 1990. Daniels was the 136th draft pick for the Hartford Whalers in 1989, but did not play his first National Hockey League (NHL) game until 1993. Daniels stood out to coaches in his debut game by accumulating nineteen minutes in penalties however, continued to play in the American Hockey League (AHL) for the Springfield Indians until his second NHL game in the 1994-95 season, again for the Hartford Whalers. In 1996 Daniels was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, and later to the New Jersey Devils in 1997 for two years before retiring from the NHL. Following his NHL retirement, Daniels currently resides in Agawam, Massachusetts with his family.
