The S43 Calgary Dragons are coming off a cup winning year to the surprise of quite a few who were thinking the Dragons didn't have the horses to get it done. Probably the main strength for Calgary is it's GM Steelhead77. Esa is the gold standard of GMs. It seems every year he gets the lines down just right to maximize the talent of the team. He puts in alot of work trying to figure out the best strategies and it's mainly for this reason the Dragons have become the SHL's New England patriots. The next strength of the team is it's still powerful veteran core led by Joe Kurczewski, Mike Izzy, Roman Augustus and Adam Kaiser, all players in the top 26 SHL TPE leaders. They still lead the way for the team both on offense and defense and are a solid core which allows Calgary to remain highly competitive. Lastly there is the youth infusion coming along. Players such as Otis B Driftwood, Alex Mack and Shooter Mcgavin are giving calgary a bridge to the future as they learn to compete at highers levels each passing season until they become the dynamic core for the Dragons in the seasons to come.
