“This place is great, it was an easy decision to stay here,” said Black Wings top scorer Graham Knott after his contract extension. The 27-year-old will play in the Linz jersey until 2026 and continue his goal hunt in the ICE Hockey League.
Last season, the Canadian led the league’s top scorer rankings for a long time with 24 goals and 35 assists, ultimately finishing in third place. In total, Knott collected an incredible 105 scorer points in 106 games for the Black Wings, making him almost a “point per game player”.
And although his numbers have aroused a lot of desire, his signature in Linz says a lot about his character. He has found a home in Linz, says Knott. In the past few days, a hand-made letter of thanks was sent from Knott’s parents to Linz for allowing him to fly to his family around Christmas time last season. “It was a huge surprise. Some tears were shed because we were so happy. We really appreciate it,” it says.
