The following season, he made his debut in the National League (NL), appearing in 36 games with SC Bern and putting up 6 points, including 3 goals. On 29 November 2009, Scherwey was suspended for two games by the SIHF for a boarding on Genève-Servette HC's John Gobbi who was knocked unconscious and transported to Bern's hospital.[1] On 23 April 2010, Scherwey was suspended for the next NL final game against Genève-Servette HC for a boarding on Daniel Vukovic.[2] He played his last junior games with Bern U20 team in 2011, the same year he turned pro, signing a two-year contract with SC Bern.

On 9 August 2012, Scherwey agreed to a two-year contract extension to remain in Bern. On 5 April 2013, Scherwey was suspended for one game for a check to the head of HC Fribourg-Gottéron's Benjamin Plüss.[3] The suspension was then brought up to two more games. Fribourg-Gottéron still appealed the decision and Scherwey was eventually suspended four games.[4]

On 29 September 2014, Scherwey was signed to a five-year contract extension by Bern. On 3 January 2015, Scherwey was suspended for one game for a check to the head of Lausanne HC's Gaetan Augsburger.[5] The suspension was then brought up to five games by the SIHF.[6] On 14 January 2016, Scherwey was suspended for three games for a check to the head of Genève-Servette HC's Daniel Rubin and was also fined CHF 1,750 for the incident.[7] On 29 March 2016, Scherwey was suspended for the first game of the NL final against HC Lugano for a check to the head of HC Davos's Marcus Paulsson during the playoffs semi-finals.

On February 6, 2019, Scherwey agreed to a seven-year contract extension with Bern worth CHF 4.9 million through the 2026/2027 season.[12]

Scherwey was invited to attend the Ottawa Senators' main training camp in September 2019, forcing him to miss SC Bern's first 8 games of the 2019/20 NL regular season.[13] His contract situation with Bern prevented him from signing a deal with any other team, including an NHL team. An NHL-out clause will be available in his new contract when it kicks off in the summer of 2020.

gollark: "Hmm, people are annoyed at getting up times they do not like. Maybe we should just tell them to wake up and sleep at different times. Or change working hours. No, the best solution is clearly to meddle with the fabric of time itself."
gollark: It's not, though. It's such a *government* solution to a problem which isn't there.
gollark: <@!151391317740486657> GMT bad, has daylight saving time.
gollark: Time zones bad, UTC good.
gollark: Macs are definitely not that good. MacBooks have horrendous thermal throttling issues because they add moar coar and stuff without improving already inadequate fanless cooling.
