Scottie Upshall (born October 7, 1983 in Fort McMurray, Alberta) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He plays right wing for the Philadelphia Flyers in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Upshall began catching scouts' eyes as a member of the 2000 Royal Bank Cup winning Fort McMurray Oil Barons. He was also named 1999–2000 AJHL Rookie of the Year, as well as being awarded the Oil Barons Rookie of the Year and People's Choice Award. He then joined the WHL's Kamloops Blazers, and following two seasons of impressive play at the major junior and international levels, Upshall was drafted in the first round, 6th overall, by the Nashville Predators in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.

Following the Blazers' early exit from 2003 WHL playoffs, he joined the Predators' AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, and played for them in their playoffs. During that time, he also made his NHL debut April 27, 2003 against the San Jose Sharks.

Upshall tried to establish himself with the Predators, however he never found his scoring touch, so he would spend time with both the Predators and the Admirals throughout his entire career in Nashville. During that time, he would win the Calder Cup in the 2003–04 and would make it to the finals again in 2005–06 after Nashville was eliminated from the NHL playoffs.

For the 2006–07 season, Upshall began to spend time solely with the Predators until a groin injury kept him sidelined. Following a conditioning stint with the Admirals, Upshall was traded, along with Ryan Parent and two draft picks (first and third round picks), to the Philadelphia Flyers for Peter Forsberg on February 15, 2007. He scored his first goal as a Flyer in his debut against the New York Rangers on February 17, 2007 and then followed it up with another goal in his very next game against the Boston Bruins on February 19, 2007.

On May 11, 2007 he signed a 2 year contract to remain in Philadelphia.
