The Akira Schmid tag page compiles news, articles, interviews, and updates covering the Swiss professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL. Born on May 12, 2000, in Bern, Schmid was drafted 136th overall by the New Jersey Devils in 2018 and made history as the first goaltender to debut in the NHL directly from the USHL. The archive tracks his progression through the Devils organization, his clutch 2023 playoff performances against the New York Rangers, his June 2024 trade to Vegas, and his emergence as a starter following Adin Hill’s injury in the 2025-26 season.
