25-year-old Matt Finn has played for 18 clubs in Canada and the United States, in the OHL (Ontario Hockey League), AHL (American Hockey League) and ECHL so far. The Black Wings Linz are now the first station in Europe for the Canadian. The big career breakthrough he would have almost achieved in 2012. The Toronto-born defender was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round of the NHL-draft, but he never made the leap into the best league in the world. In the past season, he was active for the Florida Everblades. He scored remarkable 14 goals and made 13 assists in 35 games.
