Timo Meier’s professional hockey career
Timo Meier started his hockey career as a minor leaguer with SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, a Swiss National A-League team, at age 15, working alongside Jason Spezza and David Aebischer, two well-known hockey players. Meier was selected by the Halifax Mooseheads in the 2012 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft as the 12th overall pick, following his time with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers' U17 side.
Before ending his junior hockey career with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, Meier spent three seasons with the Mooseheads. He impressed the San Jose Sharks coaching staff at their 2016 training camp, but was forced to wait until December 16 to make his NHL debut due to injury.

He made his NHL debut the following day against the Montreal Canadiens, where he participated in the match alongside Chris Tierney and Joonas Donskoi, scoring his first NHL goal in the opening frame against Carey Price of the Canadiens.
Meier was a member of the top line that faced the Los Angeles Kings on January 3, 2017, along with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski. Meier had a game-high seven hits and two shots on goal in just 13:59 of ice time, despite losing 2-1 in overtime.
