Scott Timmins (born September 11, 1989) is a Canadian ice hockey professional currently playing for the Melbourne Mustangs in the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). He was chosen by the Florida Panthers during the 6th round, 165th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Originating from Hamilton, Ontario, Timmins developed his hockey skills with the Hamilton Reps, guiding them to an Alliance Championship in Minor Midget during the 2004–05 season. The Kitchener Rangers selected him 98th overall in the 2005 OHL Priority Selection.

Following a year with the Burlington Cougars Jr.A. team of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (2005–06), Timmins advanced to join the Rangers for the 2006–07 campaign. On April 24, 2010, while playing for the Windsor Spitfires, he achieved a natural hat trick in game six of the OHL Western Conference final facing Kitchener.

Timmins debuted in the NHL with the Florida Panthers during the 2010–11 season on February 1, 2011, and netted his first NHL goal the following day against Alex Auld of the Montreal Canadiens.

On September 28, 2013, he was traded to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Krystofer Barch, spending a majority of his tenure with their AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils. Without a contract prior to the 2015–16 season, Timmins attended San Jose Barracuda's AHL training camp on a tryout basis and secured a spot on their inaugural roster.

As a free agent in 2016, Timmins inked a one-year deal with German DEL side Straubing Tigers, where he contributed 12 goals and totaled 27 points over 46 games in the 2016–17 season.

He signed a one-year contract with Austrian EBEL club Dornbirn Bulldogs on August 14, 2017. After two seasons there, Timmins transferred to Hungarian EBEL team Fehérvár AV19 in April 2019.

In 2022, Timmins joined the Melbourne Mustangs of the AIHL. He finished that season ranked fifth in league scoring and subsequently re-signed for the 2023 campaign. That year, he was honored as the AIHL Regular Season Most Valuable Player after leading with 82 points in 26 games and adding four points across three playoff contests as the Mustangs secured the Goodall Cup.
