New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier is reported to have helped rescue a family in Bern, Switzerland, after a boating incident near a dam. According to accounts cited by Swiss reporting and repeated by U.S. outlets, Hischier was boating during his summer break in his home country when he saw a family whose inflatable raft drifted toward a dangerous weir. The incident occurs on the Aare River near Bern, where strong currents and the dam area can create hazardous conditions. Sources state that Hischier stepped in and assisted the family while local police also became involved. Fox News and the New York Post both describe the episode as a rescue in which Hischier helped avert harm to the family trapped in the water. The reports do not provide further details on any injuries or the family’s condition, but they agree on the main elements: Hischier’s presence in Bern during summer, the raft being pulled toward the weir, and his assistance alongside authorities.
