Legendary bruiser Nieckar spent three years with the Panthers in the old SuperLeague from 2000 to 2003, scoring 58 points and adding a massive 804 penalty minutes for a career total of more than two days spent in the sin-bin.
The 6ft 3in Canadian's fights with Dennis Vial and Scott Allison and other Sheffield Steelers players in the 2001 bench-clearance brawl at the NIC will never be forgotten, nor will the battle at the end of a Belfast Giants game in the 2002-03 season.
One of the UK's most notorious enforcers returns to the Panthers to play in David Clarke's testimonial game. Good fighter, great enforcer.
