An attacker from Denmark is the first new addition to the EC KAC! The national team player was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2016 NHL Draft and recorded 86 scoring points in the past season.

First new addition for the upcoming season! The KAC is strengthening its attack with Mathias From, who is currently on Denmark's senior World Championship squad. Last season, the winger was on the ice for Herning Blue Fox in the Metal Ligaen (the highest Danish league). He was also the top scorer there, recording 86 points (43 goals, 43 assists) in 57 league games.

The 26-year-old, who was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2016 NHL Draft, mainly played in the HockeyAllsvenskan (2nd division in Sweden) from 2017 to 2023. He only played for Düsseldorf in the DEL in 2020/21.

"Fits in with the desired rejuvenation"
"We've had him on our radar for some time. We see him as a very good overall package for our team, especially since he also took his scoring to new heights last season. He also fits in with the rejuvenation of the team," says General Manager Oliver Pilloni.

"My goal is the championship"
"I chose the KAC because it is one of the strongest clubs in Austria and the ICE. My goal is to win a championship. I know Sebastian Dahm and Jesper Jensen Aabo from the national team. Jesper is full of praise," says Mathias From.
