Timeline

1999

Nico Hischier (born 4 January 1999) is a Swiss professional ice hockey centre and captain of the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL).

2011

Hischier participated in the 2011 and 2012 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a youth team from Zürich.

He grew up playing in the EHC Visp program.

At the age of 15, he moved from his native canton of Valais, in the south of Switzerland, to Bern and joined SC Bern, following his brother Luca, who had done the same at that age; this allowed Hischier to play at the top levels of the Swiss under-17 and under-20 leagues.

2012

His performance helped the team secure their first playoff berth since 2012.

2015

Hischier made his professional debut in his native Switzerland in 2015, spending time both in the top-tier National League A (NLA) and the second-tier National League B.

He began the 2015–16 season with EHC Visp, an affiliate of SC Bern, in the National League B, the second-highest Swiss league.

However, due to several players being out with injuries in Bern, Hischier was brought to the top team on 13 November that year, playing with his brother.

Hischier would play 15 games with Bern, spending most of the season with Visp.

2016

He moved to North America for the 2016–17 season to play major junior hockey for the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in hopes of furthering his hockey career; in his first season in the QMJHL, he was named rookie of the year, along with the award for best rookie in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), the governing body for major junior hockey in Canada.

Internationally Hischier has represented Switzerland at several junior tournaments, including two World Junior Championships.

The Halifax Mooseheads, a major junior team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), selected Hischier sixth overall in the 2016 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft, conducted between the three Canadian major junior leagues (the QMJHL, the Ontario Hockey League, and the Western Hockey League).

After discussions with both Halifax's general manager and Swiss former Mooseheads player Timo Meier, Hischier committed to joining Halifax.

Hischier's first season with the Mooseheads saw him finish second to Maxime Fortier for the team scoring lead, and tenth overall in the QMJHL, with 38 goals and 86 points.

He also led all QMJHL rookies in both goals and points.

For this Hischier was awarded the RDS Cup for being the QMJHL Rookie of the Year and the Michael Bossy Trophy as the best professional prospect in the league.

He was additionally named to the QMJHL Rookie All-Star Team.

He would also be named the rookie of the year for the CHL, which oversees the three major junior leagues.

In the playoffs he led Halifax in scoring with seven points in six games.

2017

Regarded as a strong two-way forward and a top prospect for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Hischier was selected first overall by the Devils, the first time a Swiss player was selected first overall, and made his NHL debut in 2017.

He was named captain of the Devils in 2021.

Regarded as a top prospect going into the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, by the conclusion of the season Hischier was regarded as a candidate to be selected first overall.

Ranked the second-best North American skater in the NHL Central Scouting Bureau final list prior to the draft, Hischier was highly regarded as a tremendous offensive talent with exceptional hockey sense.

Hischier was also regarded as a strong two-way player, and well-regarded for his strong skating abilities.

In the lead-up to the draft Hischier was regarded as a consensus top-two pick along with Nolan Patrick.

Hischier was selected with the first overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils, becoming the first Swiss player to be drafted first overall.

He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils on 15 July 2017.

After a strong training camp and preseason, where he led the Devils in scoring with seven points in four games, Hischier made the opening-day roster.

His NHL debut came on 7 October against the Colorado Avalanche.

He recorded his first point, an assist, on 9 October in his second game, against the Buffalo Sabres, while his first two goals came ten days later against Craig Anderson of the Ottawa Senators.

Hischier finished the regular season as the Devils' second best scorer (behind Hart Trophy-winning linemate Taylor Hall) with 52 points, including 20 goals and 32 assists.

2018

After the Devils were eliminated from the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs in five games by the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning, Hischier revealed he had been playing with a hand injury that kept him out of the 2018 IIHF World Championship.

In his sophomore season with the Devils, Hischier completed the 2018–19 season with 47 points in 69 games.

With an injured Hall out of the lineup for a large portion of the season, he recorded a team leading Corsi-For percentage, scoring chances for percentage, and high-danger chances for percentage.

2019

Despite this, the Devils performed poorly as a team and missed the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Prior to the 2019–20 season, Hischier played with the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation national team prospects camp.

On 16 October 2019, the Devils announced Hischier suffered an upper-body injury during a game against the Florida Panthers.

Two days later, the Devils signed Hischier to a seven-year, $50.75 million contract extension, despite the ability to become a restricted free agent.

The Devils' performance woes continued through 2019–20, and saw Hischier's linemate Hall traded from the team.

The season was shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic; having finished in the bottom seven teams at the time of the regular season's pause and eventual cancellation, the Devils were eliminated from playoff contention by default.
