In 2018, Nico Hischier did an interview with his older brother Luca and I cut together some of the more interesting parts and subbed them since I thought thereās probably not that many people on hockeyblr who understand Swiss German but might still be interested in stories of little Nico following his brother around. Disclaimer: I think my translation is not bad but a) I am not a professional and b) these two are very much from Wallis and I am very much from ZĆ¼rich and Wallis does have a bit of a reputation for having a weird dialect so there were one, two words I probably didnāt quite catch.
Cultural note regarding the atmosphere at Swiss hockey games: In Swiss arenas, in addition to seats thereās also a standing area and that gets JAMPACKED. Concerning fan clubs, I am not a member of one but a friend of mine who is once showed me the google doc with the lyrics to all the fan chants that they sing. Thereās one guy with a trumpet whoās a regular at EHC Klotenās games. The crowd is def louder than at NHL games. You can see some of it in this video of when the Predators played against the HC Bern if ur interested
Also something that is mildly funny to me, Nico says NHL in German, like en-ha-el, which I have never heard anyone do irl lol. He is so so Swiss for real.Ā
