Nico Hischier, born on 4 January 1999, is a Swiss professional ice hockey centre and captain of the New Jersey Devils in the National Hockey League. He made his professional debut in his native Switzerland in 2015, playing in the top-tier National League A and the second-tier National League B, then moved to North America for the 2016 to 2017 season to play major junior hockey for the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In that first season he was named the league's rookie of the year and also took the Canadian Hockey League award for best rookie. Regarded as a strong two-way forward, he was selected first overall by the Devils in the 2017 NHL entry draft, the first time a Swiss player went first overall, and he made his NHL debut that year. He has represented Switzerland at several junior tournaments and was named Devils captain in 2021.
