Luca Cereda
and Michel Riesen
were known in hockey circles as "Swiss misses", as they never made an impact in the NHL. Niederreiter followed in the footsteps of his Swiss teammate and friend Luca Sbisa
and declared himself eligible for the Canadian Hockey League Import Draft. He was drafted by the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL and enjoyed success in his rookie year.

to give Team Orr a 1–0 lead at the break. Team Cherry would eventually win by a score of 4–2. In Niederreiter's first season of North American play and rookie season for the Portland, he led the Winterhawks in goals scored with 36. This was also good for 18th in the entire Western Hockey League
and second amongst rookies. He added 24 assists, for 60 points on the season, good for fourth on the Winterhawks. He recorded a further 16 points in 13 playoff games, second best on the team. The WHL recognised Niederreiter by selecting him to the league's Western Conference Second All-Star Team.
The NHL Central Scouting Bureau
predicted that he would become just the fourth Swiss ice hockey player be drafted in the first round in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft
. TSN
hockey analyst Bob McKenzie
believed that he could become the highest drafted Swiss player in history. Niederreiter was ranked 14th by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau
amongst North American trained players in its midterm rankings. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau
ranked Niederreiter 12th in its final rankings for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft
. Those predictions came to fruition when he was selected by the New York Islanders
with the 5th pick. He is now the earliest selected Swiss-born player in draft history (Michel Riesen
had been selected 14th, in 1997
).
and was the first European drafted, albeit that he was North American trained. He began the 2010–2011 season at the NHL level with a three-year entry level contract. When he made his debut on October 9, 2010, he was the youngest player in the history of the Islanders,(David Chyzowski has previously been the youngest) and scored the first goal of his NHL career on October 13, 2010 against goalie Michal Neuvirth
of the Washington Capitals
. With the goal, Niederreiter, at the age of 18 years, 35 days became the youngest Islander and fourth youngest player of the expansion era (1967) to score an NHL goal. The only younger players to score in the NHL since expansion were Grant Mulvey
(18 years, 32 days), Jordan Staal
(18 years, 32 days) and Patrick Marleau
(18 years, 34 days).
On October 28, 2010, the Islanders announced that they would return Niederreiter to the Winterhawks for further development. As he only played nine games in the NHL, Niederreiter did not use up a year on his NHL contract; had he played ten games, it would have counted as a full year.
With Portland, Niederreiter enjoyed a career year with 41 goals and 29 assists for 70 points in 55 games.
, held in Russia, for the Swiss national junior team. Switzerland finished eighth overall, and Niederreiter scored two points in six games. He next appeared at the 2009

At the 2010 IIHF World U20 Championships
, he led the Swiss team to an upset of the Russians by scoring two goals in a 3–2 victory. His first goal came in the final minute of regulation play to send the game to overtime, and followed it with the overtime winner He finished with six goals and four assists, good enough for seventh in the tournament. These feats led to him being selected to the tournament all-star team.
During the tournament, Niederreiter and Nazem Kadri
attracted attention for Kadri's refusal to shake hands with Niederreiter after their semi-final game. Kadri did not elaborate on the specifics of what caused his refusal, but did absolve Niederreiter of using an ethnic slur, "Obviously, in big games like that, guys tend to lose their composure a bit, but I didn't take offence to anything he said. It was just that I felt like I didn't have to shake his hand." Kadri later had second thoughts about his refusal, "I regret it a little bit."
