First, as a request for an Interview comes in French, Nico Hischier fit. Previously, the Swiss had the game-debutant of the questions of the majority of the Wallis tribe of journalists answered in German – the Part in the other Canton language could then take over, Vincent Praplan.
Otherwise, everything fit after this game, it was the perfect scenario. 6:0 in the Switzerland had just won, thanks to three Hischier-goals against a inferiores France. First of all, Hischiers Name was chanted, he was allowed to sing with the Fans the shaft. After that, the Whole thing was played again with Praplan.
The Valais on the ice, Nico Hischier of the New Jersey Devils, as well as Vincent Praplan of the Springfield Thunderbirds in the AHL. But also all of the many Valais in the stands, they had hoped for in Sierre on a great evening – they were not disappointed. “I was only able to complete my first game for the Switzerland here is special,” said Hischier. “It went so well, I don’t expect it.”
Almost all of them are at the game
Four hours before the streets of the centre of Sierre are empty. You are sitting in the cafes or at the hockey match. 4500 spectators will fill the tomb hall. Yet most of them are out there, clogging up the narrow paths around the stadium. A visual inspection shows that to what and whom it here especially. A few national dresses are to be seen, but New-Jersey-Devils-camisole with the number 13 are in the Majority. The red home and white away dress, and even the white-green-red Alternative-the body of the devil can be discovered – here’s the Valais, here is Hischier country.
Where it is not so quite, but the 20-year-old centre-forward upper Valais from Naters with trunk club Visp – the Association to maintain the Sierre is the biggest rivalry. However, whether upper, middle or lower Valais, German or French, this is that night no matter. “If the national team is coming to the Valais, then like in football – all are for the FC Sion.”
The Rino Hischier, father of the main performer of the Evening says. Of course he is here, there is a Family in the burial hall, Papa Hischier counts: “Nico’s grandparents are here, his brother-in-law with cousin and Cousin, actually the whole family. Only Luca could not come, he is in Magglingen in the military.” Luca is Nico’s older for Davos storms brother – because of him, he wears the 13 on the back, the big brother is the best.
For Rino Hischier, it is a great day, even if he has seen Nico in various NHL arenas play live: “It is a game of the first countries, and it takes place in his home. This is very special.”
family
It is not only a Meeting of the Hischiers, the Valais football family welcomes almost. Rino was happy early on, the Praplans again, the last time it had lost something out of sight. Vincent Praplan is in addition to Hischier the second returnee, he is a “real” Sierre, a, of the learned here, the ice hockey . As a Youngster, he broke into the night with a colleague in the tomb hall, in the Dark a couple of Pucks around zuschiessen, again and again, she caught the ice master, was threatened with the police is futile . . .
Praplan had already went on Monday on a short visit, also in the burial hall: “The gangs are new, otherwise, everything is exactly the same as eleven years ago, when I played here the last Time.” Praplan was 14 and in a game as a Mini, he recalls: “Geneva came unbeaten to Sierre, even as a master, we won 3:2. To the gang, Philippe Bozon, was son Tim played in the Team after the game scolded Philippe’s with all of you.”
This is for Praplan worth noting because yesterday in France Bozon senior is to the gang and Bozon to junior as a striker runs. Happy national coach Bozon is not likely to be this time, his Team is put from the first Minute, just the line to the United Valais Duo Praplan/Hischier comes to a lot of opportunities.
national coach Patrick Fischer has done two but is not “folkloric” reasons for the Valais, the audience, as he emphasized after the game: “We had hoped that it would work with the Two together well.”
And whether it’s in the same line or not: The two Valais are “complicit”, that the hall is full. The big thrust in advance was made when it became known that Praplan and Hischier.
Five Valais Skorerpunkte
At the end of locker wins the Switzerland, Hischiers cross is at the origin of the second gate, he shoots later, the three hits of 3:0 to 5:0, Praplan assists in 4:0, as the Speaker then announced his name as a passer, the applause almost even louder. In Total at the end of five Skorerpunkte, the victory, in spite of the first of many missed chances and more than just a touch of Valais.
At the end of it is a Basketball, the atmosphere is good, the cowbells loud, the audience, too. And it is also a reparation for Siders, and the burial hall. As here 15 years ago, last game against Sweden took place, it ended in the embarrassing debacle: Due to the lack of quality of ice stick is not a regular game could be completed, it came about only in the penalty shootout for the Fans.
