How can you not like Nico Hischier?


Once a devil…

  1. He has the same slight grimace face even as a little guy, that’s awesome.
    Didn’t realize he was a fan that young, also awesome (well, not a fan apparently, assigned the Jersey, but beautiful divine coincidence). We love you, Nico.

  2. I miss the team being so popular that kids in other countries rep our jerseys. It feels like a different lifetime, but hopefully Nico and Jack can bring us back to that level of prominence

  3. Seeing a young Nico in the “new” jerseys makes me feel old.

    I’ll go yell at clouds in my Koho jersey.

  4. I saw a chart from some hockey account that hockey players have a .025 chance of making a career in the NHL.

    Its absolutely insane that a kid from Switzerland who used to wear devils jerseys became our captain and a foundational player for one of our most important builds.

    Even more incredible that he seems to be a genuinely good man

  5. He’s a very cool guy. He was so sweet to my children. I have a lot of respect for him.

  6. A Nico Hischier post?!?

    That’s like a siren for me specifically.

    Can you believe the fucking destiny of it all?

    Kid in a small Swiss town get assigned a random NHL team during a tournament and that team ends up being the team he not only gets drafted first overall for but eventually becomes the Captain of.

    Insanity.

    “So now I have a number 13 Devils sweater again. It’s a few sizes bigger now.

    So that’s it. What else can I say? I’m Nico. I love to hockey. And it’s an honor to be a Devil again.”
