Yes, another card from
Upper Deck's infamous
1995-96 Be A Player set, this time, card #S184, showing
Rob Niedermayer
wearing
Team Canada
's colours, probably from his years as a junior, playing for the
Medecine Hat Tigers
.
Jim Carey got the same treatment, of assuming he'd represent his country at the upcoming World Cup.
Rob won a Stanley Cup with his brother Scott, who I featured both in a
positive and
negative light.
Nowadays, Scott is retired and Rob plays for Scott's old team, the
New Jersey Devils
, who are going through a revival of sorts with
Jacques Lemaire
replacing
John MacLean
as head coach despite having left the team last summer. Rob is married to
Jessica Bentall, daughter of Canadian musician
Barney Bentall
.
