An unexpected event that happened in the life of Shion Okamoto? Well, there definitely have been many unexpected events in his life. As a small time player from a small city in Japan, no one really expected him to achieve the amount that he has so far. He was not even expected to make in the SMJHL, but he persevered. His most unexpected event in his career definitely has to be going MIA and dropping off the face of the earth during his rookie season with the Newfoundland Berserkers. It was an unfortunate lapse in his career. However, he did managed to bounce bank and get back into training and managed to stick with the team, even after going undrafted in the S58 SHL entry draft. It really was unexpected how Shion Okamoto managed to bounce back from being undrafted in the SHL to later being drafted by the Chicago Syndicate in the following season, but he is thankful for it.
