After a two week period of fan voting it was decided that the next cover athlete of the S48 SHL game should be: Otis B. Driftwood. As a defenseman for the Calgary Dragons he was the second highest scoring defenseman in the league and lead the team in scoring. Coming in with 7 goals and league leading 46 assists he was for many an obvious choice to feature this years cover. Otis B. Driftwood managed almost 25 minutes of icetime throughout the season and finished with a very good +17. Not only is Otis B. Driftwood an elite SHL player, but some also see him as the face of the franchise now that Esa Anrikkanen has retired a season ago. It’s not often that we see a defenseman on the cover of the SHL game, but this year the fans of the Calgary Dragons think it’s time for their top defenseman to be on the cover. I also believe it would increase sales of the game by at least 10%.
