"how well do you know your nhl husband? are you ready?" the interviewer, maddy, asked, holding the microphone out in front of you.
"i so am." you nodded with a smile.
"all right, what year was he drafted?" she asked.
"2017." you responded quickly with a nod.
"and what year did he debut?"
"also 2017." you smiled.
"which hand does he shoot with?"
you paused for a moment, thinking about it, "left...?"
she laughed with a nod, "that's right, left."
"whew." you blew out a breath, chuckling lightly.
"all right, what year and how was he when he became captain?"
"2021, and he was 22 years old. february 20, 2021 if we want to get specific." you winked at the camera playfully.
"how many times has he been an all-star?"
"once, 2020." you swayed from side to side with a nod.
"which team did he play for in the chl?"
"was it the mooseheads? halifax?" you winced, pausing once again.
"correct!" she cheered, "look at you! and you were worried!" she joked.
"you're asking. allthe hard hitting questions." you joked.
"all right, what year did he score his first ever hattrick?"
"2024." you repsonded with a nod once again.
"which team did he play for in the 2017 iihf world junior championship?"
"switzerland." you answered, not even blinking.
"what is his career high number of goals?"
you stopped for a second, pursing your lips as you wracked your brain, "35 goals."

"the 2024/2025 season."

"nico hischier." you looked to the camera with a smile.

"all right, how did you and nico meet?" maddy asked.
"funny story, my brother plays in the league also, and the team he used to play for, they were rivals." you smiled, shaking your head, "long story short, i was at a game, and we met each other through my brother."
"and who's your brother?"
"chris kreider." you admitted with a shy laugh.
"so, playoffs a few years ago...?" she trailed off.
you shook your head, "it was stressful. was cheering for both teams when they cheered," you joked with a laugh.
"you work as a graphic designer, correct?"
"yes." you nodded.
"have you ever worked with the devils?"
"a few times. i've made a few designs for them. a few player signings, obviously when nico scored his hattrick, i got to make a post for that, so that was pretty special." you smiled. "but mostly, i do a lot of freelancing."
"your daughter went viral almost two years ago now, for dropping the puck at the start of a game."
you smiled, glancing off to the side where your daughter was standing, distracted of course, by her grandparents who were keeping her occupied, "yeah."
"what's been your favorite moment with your daughter at the games?"
"well, every game we go to, i bring her up to the glass and they have their own little ritual, so that's the cutest. but, when we watch, she follows him the entire time he's on the ice." you smiled.
"that's so sweet." maddy smiled.
"yeah, she's definly going to be a big hockey girl." you smiled, waving to elena.

Nico Hischier x fm!reader
It was a special day for the team as it was the Stadium Series family skate. Nico was especially excited because he was able to bring his girls with him. He had two daughters, his eldest was five years old and his youngest was only ten months old. His eldest, Mallory, was ecstatic to be there. She loves skating and hockey. She wants to be a professional player, just like her dad.
She began skating about six months ago and already has so much confidence on the ice. She is an ice skater and plans to do both. Her mother knew that she could become an amazing hockey player from also being an ice skater.
Y/N sat beside Mallory as she bounced her youngest daughter, Chloe, in her lap. Nico kneeled down in front of Mallory, tying her skates for her. “Hurry,” Mallory groaned out as she kicked her feet back and forth. Nico chuckled as he dodged the tiny blades.
“Stay still, my sunshine,” Nico let out as he took a hold of her tiny calf. She giggled as she kept her legs still. Y/N tilted her head back as she smiled widely towards Mallory. Y/N held her two fingers out, letting Chloe grip her fingers as she babbled excitedly.
After a few more seconds, the skates were tied and ready to go. “Ready, Mal?” he asked, smiling widely. She nodded, pushing off the small bench. “Okay,” he said, chuckling. He took a hold of her, lifting her in the air.
“Mommy, look!” Mallory said excitedly as Nico carried her towards the ice. Y/N stood up, holding Chloe to her side as she walked towards the ice as well. Nico delicately placed Mallory onto the ice and with zero hesitation Mallory began skating alongside the wall.
“Oh shit,” Nico mumbled, resting his hand onto Y/N’s hip for a second before he got on the ice and skated after Mallory. Y/N rolled her eyes playfully.
“Come on, my love,” Y/N whispered towards Chloe as she cautiously skated onto the ice. Her eyes watched Nico skate backwards in front of Mallory. He easily caught up to her. He leaned towards her, smiling widely. “You see Daddy?” Y/N pointed towards the opposite side of the ice. Chloe babbled excitedly as her eyes moved around excitedly.
“Mallory watch out,” he let out excitedly, dodging the other families skating around.
“Sorry!” Mallory shouted excitedly as she continued manuvering around the ice.
“Mal Mal look at you, kid!” Jack shouted as he started skating beside Nico. Mallory smiled widely as she leaned forward, trying to skate faster.
“Hi Jack!” Mallory let out as she furrowed her eyebrows harshly as if it would help her skate.
“She’s skating really good,” Jack let out, shocked.
“Oh yeah, she’s starting hockey in the fall,” Nico muttered with a wide smile. Jack’s eyes widened as he slapped his hand against Nico’s arm.
“Oh yeah, future hockey star over here!” Jack shouted, pointing towards Mallory. She blushed as she slowed down as she covered her mouth with her hand.
After lapping the ice a few times, Nico took a hold of Mallory’s hands. He pulled her towards the side beside Y/N and Chloe. “Let’s skate with Momma and Chlo for a bit,” Nico let out as he leaned down beside Mallory. She pouted slightly but took in a deep breath. Nico skated close to Y/N and met her gaze for a few seconds.
“Crazy, right?” he asked as he poked Chloe’s cheek. Y/N nodded as Nico leaned towards her, kissing her for a few seconds. “Come here, my love,” Nico said as he reached for Chloe. Y/N smiled as she handed Chloe over to him. He kissed Chloe’s cheek, a giggle leaving her body.
“I’ll chase her around for a few laps,” Y/N mumbled as she kissed Nico’s cheek before she gave Mallory a thumbs up. She didn’t hesitate as she began skating and manuvering through the ice.
“Hi,” Nico mumbled towards Chloe as he slowly began to skate.
“Nico, can we interview you?” the camerman, said coming up beside him. Nico nodded excitedly. He stopped and turned towards the camera. “Who’s with you today?” he asked.
Nico smiled widely as he looked towards Chloe, “I’ve got all my girls with me,” he muttered, “My wife, my daughter Mallory and this is Chloe,” he said excitedly.
“Where’s your wife and your other daughter?” he asked.
Nico glanced around, “Not sure,” he chuckled while smiling towards the camera, “My wife is chasing after Mal.”
“Any hockey in the future for your little ones?” he asked. Nico nodded dramatically.
“Mallory is definitely gonna be my hockey player,” he said while laughing, he watched her skate behind him, pumping her little arms hard as she skated between each of the different families. “She’s starting in the fall, she’s so excited as you can see,” He said as he pointed towards her. The cameraman switched the camera towards her.
“What does today mean to you?” he asked.
Nico nodded excitedly, “My daughters don’t get to come to a lot of the games. So having them experience a bit of what I do every day is amazing. It’s also fun to have my teammates meet my kids and skate around with them,” he expressed.
“Dad! Dad! Race me!” Mallory shouted as she skated behind him. Nico smiled towards the cameraman as he handed Chloe back towards his wife.

"THE HISCHIER FAMILY" MASTERLIST
something new that elena had started collecting in her ever growing hockey paraphernalia collection was hockey cards, they were her new obsession. it was probably the surprise aspect of it all but she had a giant binder filled with cards. whenever you went to the store, you made sure to stock up on the cards.
something that nico loved to do with her was get different players to sign the cards. of course every new jersey card she had had been signed by the respective player already, but whenever the away team came to play or he went away for games, he would always collect the players cards from that team and get them signed and it was always a sweet to see the smile on not only elena's face when she saw the card, but nico's as well.
"lena, i have a surprise for you!" you sang as you came through the door. not long after, you heard elena's quick footsteps running down the hall, frankie, your dog, following after her.
"mama!" she cheered. you quickly set down all the grocery bags and enveloped her in a hug. you had only been gone for a few hours but she was in a clingy stage, she missed you and nico no matter how long you had been gone.
"hi, girly." you smiled, kissing her head and setting her on your hip. nico came down the hallway, a smile on his face as you looked at the scene in front of him.
"i have some frozens." you pointed to the bags, kissing nico on the cheek and walking towards the living room leaving him to deal with the bags.
while you waited for nico to finish putting all the groceries away, elena spent the entire time telling you about everything she and nico had done in the time that you had been gone, "wow, you and papa did a lot today." you gasped.
"did you get me a present?" she asked, raising a brow at you the same way you did.
"i did." you nodded, "but what do you say first?" you raised a brow right back at her.
"please?" she asked, flashing you her puppy eyes.
"that's my girl." you nodded, reaching into your bag and pulling out the hockey packs.
"cards!" she cheered, snatching them from your hand and ripping into them before you even had time to reprimand her for snatching.
you and nico watched with smiles as she pulled out each card and attempted to read the names. she got a few right but got stumped on a few of the names. she ripped into the last little pack and flipped through the cards.
she got the second to last card and her eyes went wide, "papa!" she quickly flipped the card around to show him the card.
in all the hockey cards for you, for some reason, had yet to find a nico hischier card. you had millions of other players and tons of repeats, but none of her beloved 13.
so when she flipped the card over, you both couldn't help but cheer with her, "it's you, it's you!" she jumped around, giggling and laughing when frankie started doing the same.
"you have to sign it now. it's tradition." you reminded him. he quickly grabbed a sharpie and signed his name. he had signed his name for tons of different fan merch, other jerseys, bobbleheads, other cards, but this one was special for him.
he picked it up and held it up, showing it off, "i look good." he joked. elena laughed while you playfully rolled your eyes.
"i have to add it to my collection." she quickly gathered her new cards and ran up to her room, frankie on her heels.
once it was just you and nico, he looked over at you, "i looked good, right?"
you rolled your eyes again, "yes, nico, you looked good."
