Origin
and identity

Scott Niedermayer's effortless-looking skating connected defensive security with the freedom to join an attack.

New Jersey's disciplined structure never hid Niedermayer's greatest weapon: movement. He could escape pressure, recover lost ground and turn a defensive sequence into a rush without making the transition appear difficult.

Anaheim gave him a new captaincy and a championship beside his brother Rob. His collection of junior, NHL and international titles reflects a player whose qualities fitted almost any successful team.
