🇲🇪 Skot Perunović je rođen 18. avgusta 1998. u Hibingu, Minesota, kao sin Džima i Suzan Perunović. Njegovi prađed i prababa, Nikola (Nikolas) i Stana (Stela) Perunović, doselili su se u SAD iz Crne Gore – iz plemena Pješivci.
Skot je sa četiri godine počeo da trenira umjetničko klizanje, da bi ubrzo prešao na hokej. Njegov ujak Dag Torel bio je hokejaš Univerziteta Minnesota-Duluth i draftovan od strane Vancouver Canucks-a 1987. godine, ali je Skota najviše privukla uspješnost samog tima.
Na koledžu Minnesota-Duluth, Skot je osvojio dvije NCAA titule (2018, 2019), a 2020. godine i Hobey Baker Award, nagradu za najboljeg univerzitetskog hokejaša u SAD.
Debituje u NHL-u 2021. godine za St. Louis Blues i postaje jedan od najtalentovanijih američkih defanzivaca, poznat po ofanzivnim sposobnostima i lucidnoj igri.
🇺🇸 Scott Perunovich was born on August 18, 1998, in Hibbing, Minnesota, to Jim and Susan Perunovich. His paternal great-grandparents, Nikola (Nicholas) and Stana (Stella) Perunović, emigrated to the U.S. from Montenegro, specifically from the Pješivci tribe.
Scott began figure skating at age four before eventually joining a hockey team. Although his uncle Doug Torrel played for the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs and was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 1987, Scott chose the school because of its strong hockey program.
He went on to win two NCAA championships (2018, 2019) with Minnesota-Duluth and earned the Hobey Baker Award in 2020 as the best college hockey player in the U.S.
He made his NHL debut in 2021 with the St. Louis Blues and is now regarded as one of the most promising American defensemen, known for his sharp offensive play and game vision.
