We take a look at another graduation form laast year's Champions Hockey League to the NHL - Sebastian Aho.

Sebastian Aho hit his first goals for the Carolina Hurricanes last night in the NHL, scoring his side's opener, and fifth goal, in a 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Aho recorded three points in the match, which puts him on to nine overall in 14 NHL matches so far.

Born in Rauma, Aho is a product of the Karpat Oulu junior system, playing through until making his Liiga debut in the 2013/14 season. The 19-year old played his first full season for the Oulu side last year, finishing as top scorer for the team with 45 points (20+25) in the regular season, and 15 (4+11) in the playoffs. Last season his side won a bronze medal in Finland's Liiga, a year after taking top prize, while Aho topped the league for overall plus/minus record.

In the CHL, Aho notched three goals and seven assists in 18 games over two seasons, playing the 2016 final as his side lost out by a goal to Frolunda. The year previous, his side went out to the same opposition in the semifinals.

On the international scene, Aho already has a collection of medals to his name. A World U20 Junior Champion from the 2015/16 season, Aho was also voted a Top 3 player for Team Finland in the tournament. Wind forward to the summer, and Aho was part of the Finland side that won the World Championship silver - being voted MVP as he scored two goals as his side eliminated hosts Russia. He also has a silver medal from the World U18 Championship a year previous.

With his two goals last night in the NHL, Aho is now another player formally plying his trade in the CHL that's making headlines in the world's top league.
