Islanders’ Sebastian Aho arrested for drunk driving in Sweden

Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho was arrested recently in Sweden for drunk driving and had his driver’s license suspended as a result, The Post confirmed.

The incident, which was first reported by the Swedish outlet Norran, occurred at 10:30 a.m. local time on Aug. 13. Aho and his wife had visited friends the night before. He blew a .03, which would be under the legal limit of .08 in the U.S. but is over the .02 limit in Sweden.

According to AftonBladet, Aho was fined 40,000 Swedish Krona, which is equivalent to $3,769.

“He had no idea he would still be over the limit by the next morning and felt 100%, but unfortunately he made a mistake and he is very sorry!” Aho’s agent, Claude Lemieux, told The Post via text.

Aho was reportedly on vacation in Sundsvall, a small city on the Baltic Sea, and was stopped at a random checkpoint.

“I deeply regret and learn from this mistake and will definitely never drive again the next day,” Aho told Norran.

The 26-year-old, who will enter the 2022-23 season as the likely seventh defenseman for the Islanders, has struggled to crack the regular lineup since coming to North America in 2017.

Aho was a group-six unrestricted free agent this offseason, re-signing with the Islanders on a two-year deal for $825,000 average annual value. He will be competing with Robin Salo for a spot on the left side of the third defense pairing when training camp opens next month.

Aho played 36 games for the Islanders last season, scoring two goals with 10 assists.
