LOTS of stories written about him over his career. This is among the better ones I've read ... Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier (10 Feb 2015): Niedert living a pro hockey odyssey

And another good one ... CT News Times (30 Jan 2016): Packed bags, side jobs in the Federal Hockey League

I'd say he deserves his own thread, if not a whole forum. I do hope he writes a book. I'll pre-ordered now.

I have to say with much sincerity congratulations on your career, and best luck post playing. A career is defined by what you make of a run in any job, you certainly did it your way and in doing so you established yourself as a legend in minor league hockey. Congratulations Nick, best of luck going forward.

If there was anyone tracking his ebug/backup appearances it would require a whole thread just to list them. He only played in four games in Reading, but was as much a legend here as anywhere else he played. I would bet he was on the bench for at least ten times as many games as he played here. The team doesn't often auction/sell/raffle the ebug jerseys, but they could have made a bundle on his if they had. The league(s) should really do something as a permanent recognition of his service to hockey. I know he probably wore a bunch of different numbers over the years because he just got whatever jersey what available as an ebug or temporary fill in, but they should pick a number and retire it across the ECHL/SPHL/FPHL in his honor. Hang a banner in every building.

I'm hoping he did...that would be a great list to see.

Seriously some NHL team with nothing to play for should sign him to a one day contract and have him play for a period.

No LNAH assignments in his hockeyDB profile, either. Might be an issue with border crossing now, though.

He's not eligible to play in the LNAH - you have to be either born in Quebec or have played junior in Quebec to be eligible.

Make him an honorary citizen, then. Or he can change his last name to "Niedérteneau" for a month.
Federal League fans Page has a thread about him which does mention ECHL Reading and AHL Bridgeport among his stops in a 17 year oddysey....

Reading is definitely listed in his hockeydb bio so that's a given,
I do seem to recall him being brought into Bridgeport as a backup when he was in Danbury.

2011/12.... one of 6 leagues or teams that season, backed up Kevin Poulin vs. the then Albany Devils

Hey RuZZia - Cut Your Losses and Go Home.
Come on. The guy was an FHL-level player. He was a little bit better than most who serve as an emergency backup. His family had the resources to support him chasing opportunities to be an emergency backup for a long time, but it's not like he was a great player.
