The team wasted no time getting their first overall selection out to New Jersey and the team introduced Hischier and his family to the New York Red Bulls ahead of the New York Derby on Saturday afternoon.



As part of the youngster’s visit to Red Bull Arena, Hischier received his very own custom Red Bulls jersey and showed off his soccer skills to members of the team.



Fans in attendance for Saturday's game were pretty happy to see the Devils' newest player already in town and snapped some photos with him.
