Leave it to my beloved Belfast Giants of the British Elite League to release what is sure to go down as one of the great hockey music videos of all time as the players shamelessly, but brilliantly, lip-sync and dance to Mariah Carey’s classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It’s a well put together video, and while hilarious, it is also an advertising masterstroke as the video promotes the clubs Christmas schedule of which I for sure will be attending given my upcoming Christmas trip back to Northern Ireland. The video itself has gone viral thanks to various hockey blogs such as Yahoo’s Puck Daddy and across Twitter with many hockey fans getting some festive cheer thanks to the antics of the Belfast Giants.

I’m off into the country for a few days to enjoy presents, turkey, beer and more importantly plenty of games of pond hockey. Enjoy the Giants hockey over the Christmas period and I’ll be back later next week to catch up with what has been going on. The site is now bang up-to-date so enjoy and stay safe.

Merry Christmas one and all.
