Strong development in Linz

Since moving to Linz in 2022, Knott has become one of the most important offensive players in the
ICE Hockey League

developed. The tall winger impressed above all with his presence in front of the goal and his constant point production.

Knott showed his class especially in the 2023/24 season: with 58 points in 45 games, he was one of the top scorers in the league and also shone with an outstanding plus/minus value. He continues this in the current 2025/26 season and leads the Linz offensive with strong performances.

Basic round: constant offensive power

In the basic round, Knott once again confirmed his value for the team. With 49 points from 45 games, he delivered consistently and was often the difference maker in tight games. In particular, his ability to score important goals and put teammates in the spotlight made him indispensable for Linz.

His role as assistant captain (“A”) also underlines his importance within the team – both in terms of sport and in the dressing room. What will happen next for the striker is still unclear.
