Most Coyotes fans are aware that both Rick Tocchet and Niklas Hjalmarsson are three-time winners of the Stanley Cup, but it might be surprising to some that another three-time champion lurks in the depths of the Coyotes’ roster.
That player is Aaron Ness, although it isn’t the trophy of Lord Stanley that the 29-year-old defenseman has hoisted thrice. Ness is a three-time winner of the John Scott Cup — yes, you read that right — which is awarded annually by Da Beauty League (DBL), a summer hockey syndicate in Minnesota.
“He is Mr. Beauty League,” teammate and fellow DBL participant Derek Stepan said of Ness.
