Nassau County Athlete Of The Week: Scott Weisbrot, Team USA Para Hockey World Cup Goal Scorer

MERRICK, NY — This summer, Patch is highlighting the athletes making a difference across Nassau County, from little leaguers to long-distance swimmers.

This week, the athlete of the week is Scott Weisbrot, a Merrick man who made history, scoring in the FIH Para Hockey World Cup, a six-a-side tournament being held in the Netherlands and Belgium.

"I love the sport," Weisbrot told Patch this week. "Field hockey is one of the best sports to play because it's a lot of moving."

Weisbrot joins a summer athlete of the week lineup that has featured Valley Stream resident Keith Drayer, little league baseball and softball teams from Port Washington and Massapequa, and high school athletes from Baldwin and Massapequa.
