Scott M. Gordon (born February 6, 1963) is an American professional ice hockey coach and former professional goaltender. He is currently the head coach of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League (AHL). He has also previously served as the head coach of the AHL's Providence Bruins and NHL's New York Islanders. Gordon was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, but grew up in Easton, Massachusetts.
Gordon began his collegiate career with the Boston College Eagles in the 1982–83 season, where in nine games, he posted a 3–3–0 record with a 2.43 goals against average (GAA).
Gordon became the Eagles' starting goaltender in 1983–84, where in 35 games, he had a 21–13–0 record and a 3.74 GAA, helping Boston College qualify for the 1984 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. The Eagles faced off against the Michigan State Spartans, where they lost the two-game total goal series 13–8.
Gordon retained his starter's job for the 1984–85 season, as he went 23–11–2 with a 3.61 GAA in 36 games played. On March 16, 1985, in a game against the Providence College Friars, Gordon and Friars goaltender Chris Terreri made hockey history, as both goalies placed water bottles on the top of their nets, the first time that goales placed water bottles on the top of their nets in a hockey game. Gordon led Boston College into the 1985 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament, as the Eagles reached the semi-finals before losing to Providence 4–3 in triple overtime.
