How to defend against Nico Hischier is an answer many coaches at the 2016/17 World Junior Hockey championships are searching for after his 3 point (2G 1A) performance in a 4-3 overtime loss to Canada. There is no easy answer, so we asked 3 other Swiss born players who are now playing in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and have either played with Hischier or against his in their homeland. Moncton Wildcats defenceman Simon Le Coultre, Quebec Remparts forward Philipp Kurashev and Blainville-Boisbrian Armada forward Axel Simic are the 3 other Swiss born players in the QMJHL. Listen to their thoughts n how to defend against one of the top prospects for the 2017 NHL draft in Chicago this summer. Hischier has been dubbed the best pro prospect to ever come out of Switzerland and Swiss version of Connor McDavid.
