[edit] Playing career
Scuderi attended St. Anthony's High School in South Huntington, New York and graduated in 1997. After high school, Scuderi attended Boston College, where he played four seasons for the Eagles. Following his freshman season, when he tallied 24 assists in 42 games, he was drafted in the 5th round, 134th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft.
In 2001, Scuderi began his professional career with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League. That season he played in 75 games, recording a goal and 22 assists.
Scuderi played in his first NHL game during the 2003–04 season. After gaining 3 points in 13 games in Pittsburgh the NHL lock-out meant that he spent the entire 2004–05 season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
His second NHL season, the 2005–06 season was a struggle as he contributed to just 4 points in 56 games but his reliability as a stay-at-home blue-liner meant that he earned a permanent position in Pittsburgh for the 2006–07 season, appearing in 78 games, scoring a goal and ten assists.
On February 2, 2008, Scuderi played his 200th career NHL game versus the Carolina Hurricanes.
