The EC-KAC has the next departure. Mario Kempe is also leaving the Red Jackets and will return to his homeland.
In mid-August 2025, the now 37-year-old Swede moved to Lake Wörthersee and played in 43 games this season. The striker scored ten goals and prepared 18 more. In the Champions Hockey League he was Klagenfurt’s best scorer with seven points in four appearances.
“I had great months in Carinthia and would like to thank everyone in and around the club for the kindness and support that I was able to experience. Apart from the sporting disappointment at the end of the season, I will have very fond memories of this time and will certainly come back to Klagenfurt to visit soon. For me, I am now going back to Stockholm, where I will spend more time with my family, who I only saw sporadically during the season. I wish the EC-KAC all the best for the future, they have everyone Opportunities and tools to continue his great tradition of success,” said the Swede on “kac.at“.
13 players under contract
Kempe’s departure was the eighth of the current offseason. 13 cracks are currently under contract with the record champions: two goalkeepers (Sebastian Dahm, Florian Vorauer), four defenders (Thimo Nickl, Maximilian Preiml, Tobias Sablattnig, Clemens Unterweger) and seven strikers (Raphael Herburger, Fabian Hochegger, Daniel Obersteiner, Nick Petersen, Simeon Schwinger, Finn van Ee David Waschnig). Remarkable: the KAC currently only has two legionnaires in its squad.
