Sebastian Aho (born 17 February 1996) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman for Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
Playing career
Aho played as a youth with Björklöven IF before moving the fellow Swedish club, Skellefteå AIK. Aho made his Elitserien debut on the blueline in 1 game with Skellefteå AIK during the 2012–13 season.[1] He was signed to a new four-year contract with the club on 28 May 2013.[2]
After helping Skellefteå AIK claim a second straight championship, Aho was rated amongst the top 10 European skaters for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[3] Despite this, Aho was passed over due to his diminutive size and returned to continue with Skellefteå AIK. After his first full SHL season in 2014–15, helping the club return to the finals for the third-consecutive season with 9 points in 41 games, Aho was again rated amongst the top 15 skaters for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.[4]
