Biography
Simon Moser scored a game-tying NHL goal with less than one second left in regulation for the Nashville Predators. The forward from Bern built his career on physical power and competitive drive, carving his path in Switzerland's National League before seizing that North American opportunity. His NHL time was brief. Returning to his boyhood club, SC Bern, Moser evolved into its captain. He leads with punishing shifts along the boards and crucial goals, embodying the workmanlike identity of one of Europe's most storied hockey clubs.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Simon was born in 1989, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
