Schweri played junior hockey with EHC Kloten U20 team for two seasons and made his professional debut with the National League (NL) team during the 2013-14 season, appearing in one game. At the conclusion of the season, he joined the Sherbrooke Phoenix of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) who had drafted him 35th overall in the 2014 CHL Import Draft.[1] Schweri went on to play two seasons with the team, tallying 104 points (21 goals) in 87 regular season games and added 6 points (1 goal) in 9 postseason contests.
