| After an impressive career, Scott Niedermayer says thank you to Ed Dempsey |
During a press conference to announce his retirement from professional hockey, Scott Niedermayer took a moment to reflect on those that were influential in his hockey career. Included in that well thought out and inclusive list was current Spruce Kings head coach and general manager, Ed Dempsey. Along with Ken Hitchcock, Tom Renney and Don Hay, Dempsey coached Niedermayer when he played for the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League.
Scott Niedermayer played three seasons with the Kamloops Blazers with Ed Dempsey on the bench as part of the coaching staff. During those three years Niedermayer was selected twice to the WHL All Star team, was named the CHL Scholastic Player of the Year and was selected third overall in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. He also received the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy as the MVP of the 1992 Memorial Cup tournament. |
