Scott Niedermayer joined the New Jersey Devils for four games during the 1991-92 season before becoming an NHL regular the following year.

Niedermayer would shine for the Devils for twelve NHL seasons.

Scott and the Devils went to the Eastern Conference Final in 1993-94, but were eliminated by the New York Rangers. They made no mistake in 1994-95, though, sweeping the Detroit Red Wings to claim the first Stanley Cup championship for the franchise.

Niedermayer would sign with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim prior to the 2005-06 season.

New Jersey reached the finals again in 2000-2001, but this time, were stymied by the Colorado Avalanche. Two years later, the Devils again played for the Stanley Cup, defeating the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the final. The Ducks included Scott's younger brother, Rob, at forward.

With the newly-renamed Anaheim Ducks, Niedermayer would capture his fourth career Stanley Cup title.

During the summer of 2005, Scott ended his twelve-season career with New Jersey by signing with Anaheim as a free agent. Joining his brother, Scott was named team captain of the Ducks. Teamed on the blueline with Chris Pronger on the newly-renamed Anaheim Ducks, Niedermayer scored career-bests in goals (15) and points (69), and then led the team to a first franchise Stanley Cup. It was a fourth for Scott. He was also awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable playoff performer.

One of the most decorated players in international hockey history, Niedermayer would serve as captain of the gold medal-winning Canadian team at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

The talented blueliner played two final seasons with Anaheim before announcing his retirement in June 2010. Through 18 NHL seasons, Scott played 1,263 regular season contests, scoring 172 goals and adding 568 assists for 740 points. He also scored 25 goals, 73 assists and 98 points in 202 playoff games.

A four-time Stanley Cup champion, Scott was named to the NHL's First All-Star Team three times and to the Second Team once. He was the Norris Trophy recipient in 2003-04 and the Conn Smythe Trophy winner in 2007. Niedermayer's number 27 was retired by the New Jersey Devils during the 2011-12 season, and his number 28, worn as a junior, was retired by the Western Hockey League's Kamloops Blazers in January 2013. In November 2012, to commemorate an extraordinary international career as well as his outstanding NHL career, Scott was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
