Draisaitl at a glance
Leon Draisaitl's German Sportspersonality of the Year award in 2020 marks him out as a hockey figure with national recognition, not merely a club one. The honour followed a body of work built as a forward in the NHL, where he has represented the Edmonton Oilers. For a German player to be singled out in that way says something about both his standing in the NHL and the reach of his profile at home.
Today, Draisaitl plays as a forward for the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL. He also represents Germany internationally. In NHL regular-season play, he has scored 434 goals and collected 1,053 points. The Oilers drafted him, and he has built his career with the club as a left-shooting attacker. His output underlines the scoring role he holds.
