After his successful time in Villach, Scott Kosmachuk is returning to Austria. In his second season with VSV, the forward was the third-highest scorer in the entire win2day ICE Hockey League after John Hughes and Peter Schneider with 33 goals and 30 assists in 58 games.

Kosmachuk knows Ryan Murphy, among others, from earlier days and played with Thomas Raffl in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose in the 2015/16 season. In the same campaign, the Canadian also played eight NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets. In the last two years, Kosmachuk proved his skills in the Finnish Liiga with TPS (29 games, 9 goals, 8 assists) and in the KHL with Lada Togliatti (46 games, 10 goals, 17 assists). Kosmachuk, who is expected to arrive in Salzburg this week, recently trained in Toronto and is looking forward to his comeback: "I really enjoy playing in this league, especially in the Red Bulls organisation. Knowing the history that has already been built there, I hope I can help the team bring another championship to Salzburg."
