Nils Sējējs (born 15 March 2001) is a Latvian professional ice hockey winger who is currently playing with HC La Chaux-de-Fonds of the Swiss League (SL) as a prospect to Genève-Servette HC of the National League (NL).
Sējējs played his junior hockey in Switzerland which allows him to compete in the NL and the SL with a Swiss player-license.
On April 6, 2021, Sējējs was signed by Genève-Servette HC to his first professional contract, agreeing to a one-year deal.[1] [2]
On May 5, 2021, it was announced that Sējējs would be loaned to HC La Chaux-de-Fonds of the Swiss League (SL) for the 2021/22 season.[3] [4]
His twin brother, Nauris Sējējs, also plays professional hockey with Genève-Servette HC as a defenseman. They were born in the Czech Republic where their father Normunds was playing hockey at the time, though the family returned to Latvia within a few years.
Both twins left Latvia and moved to Geneva in 2016 at age 15 to continue their junior careers.
