As rumoured a number of weeks ago it now seems certain that Giants backup goalie Nathan Craze will join EPL team the Bracknell Bees for the upcoming season.

A drop in standard yes, but it will certainly see the young up and coming goalie get a lot more ice time than he would have with the Giants. Still he preformed very well when he did get playing for the Giants and I for one would really liked to see us re-sign him. In a league where back-up’s are nearly always young Brits it’s going to be hard for the Giants to find someone else to cover the reserve goalie duties as well as Craze did.

EIHL experience, or EPL playing time… thats Nathan Craze’s decision over staying in Belfast for another year or going to Bracknell. According to icBerkshire the Bees are looking for a top notch British netminder and amoung others, Craze is catching their eye.

Giants fans will be hoping Craze stays on in Belfast to further his career there behind a top quality netminder whom he can learn from, but the decision will be his in the end. Theres no doubts though that Belfast and Bracknell are not the only teams interested in the young teenage prospects services.
