Key Information

Playing career

[edit]

Fraser played major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL), winning the 2010–11 WHL championship with the Kootenay Ice.

Fraser with the Texas Stars in 2013

On November 17, 2010, the Dallas Stars signed Fraser as a free agent to a three-year entry-level contract.[1] Fraser started the 2011–12 season playing with the Stars' top American Hockey League affiliate, the Texas Stars, where he scored 21 goals in his first 40 games. Fraser was leading his AHL team in scoring when, on January 24, 2012, he was called up to the Dallas Stars to make his NHL debut.[2] After one game he was returned to Texas and finished with a franchise high 37 goals, second in the league. On February 25, 2013, he scored his first career NHL goal against the Nashville Predators with Pekka Rinne in net.

On July 4, 2013, Fraser was included in a trade between the Stars and Boston Bruins which sent Loui Eriksson to Boston and Tyler Seguin to Dallas in a seven-player deal. Boston traded Seguin, Rich Peverley and Ryan Button to Dallas for Eriksson, Fraser, Joe Morrow and Reilly Smith.[3] Fraser and Ryan Spooner were called up by the Boston Bruins from AHL Providence on December 8, 2013.[4] On May 7, 2014, Fraser was recalled by Boston to make his NHL playoff debut the following day where he scored the overtime winner, giving the Bruins a 1–0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on May 8 to even the Eastern Conference Semifinals series 2-2.[5]

In the 2014–15 season, Fraser was claimed off waivers from the Bruins by the Edmonton Oilers on December 29, 2014.[6] Fraser scored 5 goals in 36 games to end the year with the Oilers; however, he was not retained with a qualifying offer, releasing him to unrestricted free agency.[7] On July 2, 2015, Fraser signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets.[8]

In the 2015–16 season, while with the Jets AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, on February 25, 2016, Fraser was traded by Winnipeg alongside Andrew Ladd and Jay Harrison to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Marko Daňo and a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[9]

Unable to crack an NHL roster in a full-time role over five seasons, Fraser left North America as a free agent, signing a one-year deal with Swedish club Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League on September 9, 2016.[10] After one season in Rögle, Fraser moved to Austria to compete with Dornbirner EC of the EBEL.

On April 11, 2018, Fraser moved to the neighbouring German DEL league, agreeing to a one-year contract for the 2018–19 season with the Augsburger Panther.[11]

from Grokipedia
Matt Fraser is an American psychic medium known for his television appearances, books on the afterlife, and live events where he conducts readings claiming to connect audiences with deceased loved ones. He starred in the E! reality series Meet the Frasers, which follows his family's life and his psychic business. Fraser is an author whose books, including We Never Die: Secrets of the Afterlife, explore themes of life after death and spiritual communication. His work has drawn followers through personal readings, public demonstrations, sold-out tours, and online sessions. He performs live shows and produces content focused on his claimed abilities to communicate with the deceased.

Early life

Family background

Matt Fraser was born Matthew L. Fraser in Providence, Rhode Island, and raised in the nearby town of Cranston. ) He is of Italian descent and describes his upbringing in what he calls a "loud, crazy Italian family" that has always been closely involved in his personal and professional life. Fraser is the son of Rod Fraser and Angela Fraser, and he has a younger sister named Maria Fraser. His mother Angela is an intuitive psychic who reads past, present, and future, using tools such as cards, crystal balls, coffee grounds, and tea leaves, and she receives messages from angels, guides, and sometimes loved ones in Heaven. Angela has been a constant source of guidance and support for her son, and she continues to offer her own private psychic readings. The psychic legacy in Fraser's family traces back three generations, originating with his late grandmother Mary, who was a gifted psychic and card reader that created and read her own Tarot cards. Fraser claims that this gift passed from his grandmother to his mother Angela—who from a very young age could see and hear things others could not—and then to him, making his abilities a continuation of the family's inherited spiritual tradition. These family psychic dynamics are prominently featured in the television series Meet the Frasers.

Childhood and psychic experiences

Matt Fraser reported experiencing psychic phenomena from a very early age, including hearing whispers and voices emanating from empty rooms and seeing full-body apparitions appear in doorways or within rooms. These encounters reportedly began in his early childhood and were self-described as intensely frightening. He has compared his childhood experiences to the film The Sixth Sense, stating that while the movie depicted similar phenomena, his own encounters felt far scarier because they were real and persistent rather than scripted. Around middle-school age, following a family tradition of suppressing such abilities due to their Catholic upbringing, Fraser deliberately shut off and buried his psychic sensitivities to avoid the fear and disruption they caused. These experiences are self-reported in his autobiography and public statements, with no independent corroboration available.

Turning point and acceptance of abilities

As Matt Fraser approached college age—when he planned to pursue a career as an EMT—he decided to attend a psychic reading "for fun," during which the reader connected him to his deceased grandmother, who conveyed a message urging him to embrace his psychic gifts for the purpose of healing and comforting others. That same night, Fraser intentionally attempted to reconnect with his abilities, which returned intensely in the form of vivid visions, voices, and recalled memories. No longer gripped by fear, he began to view his psychic sensitivities as a blessing and a personal calling rather than a burden, marking a profound shift in his perspective. In the period following this acceptance, Fraser encountered several early validations that affirmed his abilities, including perceiving images of a new rug and favorite dishes to connect a relative with details about his aunt, accurately predicting boyfriends for a college friend, and witnessing a photograph appear to "spring to life" and engage in conversation. These experiences, drawn from Fraser's self-reported accounts, reinforced his confidence in pursuing his mediumship.

Career

Early work in emergency services

Matt Fraser began his career in the medical field as an emergency medical technician (EMT), motivated by a desire to help others and fulfill a lifelong dream of working in emergency services. He pursued this path despite having long suppressed his psychic abilities, drawn to the healthcare field because of his heightened sensitivity to people's pain and emotional needs. He started his career as an EMT in Boston, where he worked for the security operations department at the World Trade Center building. In this role, Fraser provided emergency medical assistance during physical crises, developing a deep passion for aiding people in times of need. This hands-on experience in emergency services focused on physical healing and support, laying the groundwork for his later shift toward helping others on emotional and spiritual levels.

Rise as psychic medium

Matt Fraser began his career as a professional psychic medium by offering readings for modest fees in the back of Salon on Turner, a beauty shop in East Providence, Rhode Island. While still working as an emergency medical technician and facing financial struggles, he started providing these sessions at $5 or $10 each, using his inherited abilities to help clients connect with deceased loved ones. As word of his readings spread through personal recommendations, he gained initial media attention from outlets such as Fox News and CBS Radio, which contributed to a rapid increase in his visibility and clientele. Fraser has stated that he assisted police departments and private investigators on cold cases and efforts to locate missing children, though he later shifted his focus away from such work due to the frequent lack of physical evidence needed for legal resolutions. He built a reputation for delivering detailed and emotional messages from the deceased, often incorporating specific names, dates, and locations to provide comfort to those grieving. Fraser has conducted readings for celebrities including Gloria Estefan, Jenny McCarthy, and Donnie Wahlberg. His work as a medium has been covered by various media outlets, including USA Today, People Magazine, CBS Radio, The New York Times, and Daily Mail.

Live events and tours

Matt Fraser conducts sold-out live events and tours as a psychic medium, primarily in theaters across the United States. These performances feature audience readings in which Fraser delivers messages from deceased loved ones, often providing specific details such as names, dates, and locations that attendees find strikingly accurate. The shows combine humor with heartfelt emotion, creating a rollercoaster of experiences that range from laughter to tears while aiming to offer healing, hope, and a sense of connection to the afterlife. Fraser's dynamic personality and unique approach to mediumship engage audiences, frequently leading skeptics to become believers through the perceived precision of the communications. His tour schedule includes stops in various American cities, with upcoming events listed in locations such as Washington, D.C., Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Northfield, Ohio. In addition, Fraser hosts an annual one-night-only live online group reading on Halloween Eve with his mother, Angela Fraser, which sells out quickly each year due to high demand. This special event takes advantage of the traditionally thinned veil between the living and spirit worlds, featuring Fraser's mediumship readings alongside Angela's tea leaf readings and tarot interpretations, followed by a Q&A session with participants. Through these live experiences, Fraser reaches a global audience, delivering messages intended to bring emotional healing, hope, and laughter.
