Biography
Simon Moser's game is built on a foundation of physical power and an unshakeable competitive drive. The forward from Bern carved his path in Switzerland's National League before seizing a North American opportunity with the Nashville Predators. His NHL time, though brief, was highlighted by a dramatic, game-tying goal with less than a second remaining in regulation—a moment that cemented his legacy as a player for the big occasion. Returning to his boyhood club, SC Bern, Moser evolved into its heart and soul. As captain, he leads not just with words but 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.
