Scott Niedermayer

[laughs]

And they had Detroit, or not Detroit, s- uh, New Jersey with, like, Brodeur and Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer.

Yep.

It is, yeah, like it was, it was a different time.

And he was a very good hockey player.

Like, most people thought of Lyle Odelein as the enforcer type, but from having played with some guy, like, played with Niedermayer and, and I've brought up Odelein and, uh, the level of respect for the job that he did, whether asked to do it or not, he was one of those guys that decided to sacrifice for his team above himself every single time, and that's, that's a hell of an endorsement coming from teammates.

Thank you, Aaron Ward.

We'll talk to you tomorrow.

Maybe I'll get him on again.

Zach scored the winner, um, on a breakaway pass from Scott Niedermayer in the '91-'92 Memorial Cup.

Now, Tyson was 16 at that point.

I was 14.

I played six.

I played six, and Scott Niedermayer played all 10.

My goodness.

Yeah, and-

It, you might've played, you know, either way.

But at the end of the day, it would be kind of cool to play with a, a, a cousin, a brother, you name it, right? Like, if Rob Niedermayer and Scott Niedermayer got to win a Stanley Cup together.

Yep.

Like you-

I mean, it's that era, but...

Yeah, 'cause Yzerman, I'm trying to remember all their cities, and Brind'Amour was a BC guy, and Niedermayer's a BC guy.

Although, Brind'Amour's from some loser town.

He's not like everybody else.

Of all the examples, Ottawa's featured three times, Montreal seven times.

Yeah, I'm not surprised about that.

Edmonton once, because I think the Niedermayers grew, grew up, I think, in Cranbrook, though Scott was technically born in Edmonton, I believe.

And Jerome Iginla, right?

That's the point.

But that, guess y- [laughs] you know who wasn't that and is one of the most revered, you know, leaders, guys to wear letters in, in, uh, m- uh, the last quarter century? Scott Niedermayer.

You never see him say a thing on the ice.

But he wore the C, hoisted the Stanley Cup, uh, in Anaheim, and you talk to former teammates both in Jersey and in Anaheim, w- super respected, the quiet leadership, lead by example type.

Uh, you know, Tim Stutzle, you can just go with your superstar player.

I, I look at Jake Sanderson 'cause he's, he's always reminded me of Scott Niedermayer.

Scott Niedermayer was a great leader, but he wasn't a vocal guy, right?

Mm-hmm.

He just went out and played.
