Svechnikov began his junior career in North America with the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He signed a tender with the Lumberjacks in May 2016, due in part to proximity to his brother's American Hockey League (AHL) team in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

He was named to the All-USHL Team and was declared USHL Rookie of the Year.

Svechnikov was selected first overall in the 2017 CHL Import Draft by the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Barrie Colts. Prior to the start of the season, he was highly regarded as a top prospect and was seen as a candidate for first overall. Svechnikov won the Emms Family Award as OHL Rookie of the Year. At the end of the season, he was ranked the top-ranked North American skater by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau, described as an elite skater and finisher.
