Scott Niedermayer

Scott Niedermayer was one of the most complete and graceful defensemen to ever play the game. Renowned for his smooth skating, offensive instincts, and ability to control the tempo, Niedermayer won everywhere he played. He captured four Stanley Cups, an Olympic gold medal, and a World Championship, making him one of hockey’s rare Triple Gold Club members.

Drafted 3rd overall in 1991 by the New Jersey Devils, he spent 13 seasons with the franchise, playing a pivotal role in three Stanley Cup runs. In 2005, he joined the Anaheim Ducks and led them to their first Cup in 2007, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. His combination of speed, skill, and leadership left a lasting impact on the modern defenseman prototype. Niedermayer was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013.
