All the latest about Nico Hischier

Team

 

New Jersey Devils

NHL history was made on June 23, 2017, when Nico became the very first Swiss national to be drafted first overall in the NHL Entry Draft. The team that made the pick: the New Jersey Devils.  One of the league’s most successful franchises around the turn of the millenium, the Devils won three Stanley Cup titles between 1995 and 2003. In his first five NHL seasons, Nico lived-up to his Nr. 1 billing and firmly established himself as one of the franchise’s cornerstones, representing the Devils at the 2020 NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis. On February 20, 2021, Nico was named the 12th team captain in the history of the New Jersey Devils. In 381 NHL games to date, Nico has recorded 109 goals and 177 assists.

Nico’s Corner

A look at Nico’s childhood over the years

At age 24 and already five seasons into his NHL career, Nico has successfully mastered the step from talented prospect to franchise player and team captain for the New Jersey Devils. Off the ice, however, Nico isn’t much different from the typical 24-year old you’d know. He spends most of his time away from hockey with friends and family, enjoys their company and comradery and preferrably invites his peers to a relaxed barbecue during his summers back home in the Valais region of Switzerland. That is, if he isn’t busy prepping for the upcoming hockey season.  Nico understands that there is no shortcut to hockey success: „I am simply trying to do a little something extra every time I work out.“

Always wanted to get  to know Nico on a more personal level? Well, Nico’s Corner can’t quite do that but consider it a start in the right direction.
