Carolina Hurricanes: Just Who Really is Sebastian Aho?

On the 26th of July 1997, in Rauma, Finland, a young Sebastian Aho was born. Little did anyone know what a superstar this young man would become. But why did he fall all the way down to 35th overall in the 2015 NHL entry draft if he was going to be so good?

Recently Sebastian Aho’s name became hallmark in the NHL after a great playoff run by the Hurricanes and a offersheet controversy by the overly popular Montreal Canadiens. But that’s not where his story begins.

Sebastian rose to fame in the hockey world with Finland during the IIHF Championships when he put up two goals and nine assists in ten games for Finland.
