Whether heB次元官网网址檚 wearing shamrocks or snowflakes, announcer Scott Adams has a growing fan base at Victoria Cougars home games.
Believe it or not, the brightly-dressed announcer wasnB次元官网网址檛 trying to impersonate Don Cherry when he first started wearing two-piece suits to the games.
Adams started wearing unconventional outfits as a curler when he noticed how many of his team mates wore black.
B次元官网网址淚 started wearing Nascar racing shirts B次元官网网址� full of advertisements and very noisy,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭he guys would look at me like my head was on fire and I thought, you havenB次元官网网址檛 seen anything yet.B次元官网网址�
ThatB次元官网网址檚 when he started wearing loudmouth golf pants B次元官网网址� brightly patterned, truly hideous pants, said Adams with a laugh.

In 2016, Adams was hit by a car while walking his dogs on Gorge Road.
He barely survived the crash. Left with severe orthopedic injuries and a new perspective on life, something as seemingly inconsequential as wearing a patterned two-piece suit has taken on a new meaning for the Victoria man.
When he was asked to become a home game announcer for the Victoria team, he didnB次元官网网址檛 have to think too hard about what to wear.
Adams brought his one of a kind fashion sense to the Cougars arena and went a step further with patterned and holiday-themed two-piece suits B次元官网网址� from stars, paisley, plaid and even moustache patterns B次元官网网址� it didnB次元官网网址檛 take long for folks to start comparing him to beloved Canadian hockey commentator Don Cherry, who had a unique suit for each game he announced.
Adams laughs at the comparison. His main goal is not to take life too seriously.
B次元官网网址淟ife is way too short. When I got hit by this car, I wasnB次元官网网址檛 supposed to make itB次元官网网址次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 all just for fun. I have no end of fun doing it.B次元官网网址�
Since the crash, Adams has also become an advocate for Blood Services Canada. It took 40 bags of blood to save his life. He organized a blood drive for the Cougars on Saturday and said many of the players were first-time donors.
What's Scott wearing tonight?
