Ramholt played in the 1998 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a youth team from ZΓΌrich. He developed as a defenceman playing for his hometown ZΓΌrich in the Swiss junior and Nationalliga B (NLB) leagues. He was a member of the silver medal winning Swiss team at the 2001 IIHF World U18 Championships, where he scored one assist in seven games. He made his top level debut for the ZSC Lions in 2001β02, appearing in 37 games and scoring three goals. Ramholt played 30 more games for ZSC in 2002β03, but also spent considerable time with their NLB team, the GCK Lions as the 17-year-old struggled to gain ice time with ZSC and began to contemplate moving onto another team.\n', '
He was ranked as the 16th best skater by NHL Central Scouting entering the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Ramholt was selected by the Calgary Flames in the second round, 39th overall, who felt his strong skating and puck moving ability made him ideally suited for the North American game. Ramholt, who had played in Calgary before β he was named the top defenceman at the 2002 Mac\'s AAA midget hockey tournament β looked forward to playing on the smaller North American ice surface. He was also selected by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in the 2003 Canadian Hockey League European draft, and chose to play the 2003β04 season in Cape Breton where he scored 9 goals and 27 assists for the Screaming Eagles.\n', '
The Swiss junior team called upon Ramholt to play in World Junior Hockey Championships three times. He played seven games in the 2002 tournament, scoring one assist, as the Swiss finished fourth. He returned for the 2003 and 2004 tournaments, playing six games each, as the Swiss finished seventh and sixth, respectively. Ramholt expressed disappointment in his team\'s results, as the Swiss had hoped to follow their 4th-place finish in 2002 with a medal in 2003.\n', '
