ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Scott Niedermayer is ready to teach the Anaheim Ducks a few more things about winning. The former Ducks captain and four-time Stanley Cup champion defenceman will be an assistant to Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau this season, the Ducks announced Friday. Niedermayer wont make every road trip with the club, and he wont stand behind the Ducks bench during most games. But the former Canadian Olympic captain and Norris Trophy-winning defenceman will take a more active role with the Ducks after spending the previous two seasons in player development for Anaheim. "The last couple of years, Ive been working with players in Syracuse and Norfolk (with the Ducks AHL affiliate clubs), and I realized I do enjoy it, maybe more than I thought when I was a player," Niedermayer said in a phone interview. "I dont think I could have predicted that when I was a player. I probably couldnt predict this when I was a player. Im excited about the chance to try and help." Niedermayer spent the final five seasons of his 18-year career with Anaheim, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHLs playoff MVP while leading the Ducks to their only Stanley Cup championship in 2007. Niedermayer was a six-time All-Star who won the Norris Trophy in 2004 while playing for New Jersey. He won three Stanley Cup titles with the Devils in 1995, 2000 and 2003. The offence-mindeddefenceman retired in June 2010 at just 36 years old, determined to spend more time with his family after several previous flirtations with retirement. Along with his four Stanley Cup rings, Niedermayer won two Olympic gold medals, a Memorial Cup title in junior hockey with the Kamloops Blazers and gold medals in the IIHF world championships and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. The British Columbia native remained in Orange County with his wife and four sons after retirement, spending the last two years as a consultant to general manager Bob Murray and the Ducks hockey operations department. "Of course you miss (playing)," Niedermayer said. "There are things youll probably always miss. Its a great thing to be a professional athlete, so I was very fortunate. The last couple of years have been different, but Ive had a lot of opportunities to do things with the family, and hopefully theres still a few years left to do some new things." Niedermayer has been particularly influential on the development of defenceman Cam Fowler, who lived with Niedermayers family after breaking into the NHL two seasons ago. Luca Sbisa, the Ducks young Swiss defenceman and Fowlers fellow cornerstone, also will get special tutoring from Niedermayer. "My goal is to help out, maybe focus on the younger guys that are breaking into the league, give them a little advice," Niedermayer said. He might be able to help out the older Ducks as well, if they can get used to taking direction from a former teammate. Teemu Selanne, Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf are among several current Ducks who played with Niedermayer. After the NHLs last lockout in 2005, he signed with Anaheim as a free agent, playing alongside his brother, Rob. The Ducks won Californias first Stanley Cup in 2007, with Niedermayer and fellow defenceman Chris Pronger dominating the post-season with bruising physical play and timely offence. Niedermayer joins Ducks assistant coaches Bob Woods and Brad Lauer on the staff led by Boudreau, who sparked the Ducks solid finish after taking over for Randy Carlyle early last season. "Those guys are doing all the heavy lifting," Niedermayer said. "When they ask me to do some things, Ill be glad to help out, and then just be on the ice, be supportive." cheap jerseys . and Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que. have been eliminated from the womens beach volleyball tournament at the London 2012 Games. wholesale jerseys .
