He will be missed. Todd Kelman ain’t wrong when he calls him one of our greats. As for his replacement . . . Watch this space!!

From the EIHL to the NHL and back again

Below is a little taster of what we got in terms of the physical side of the game.

The Giants had been on a 6 game losing streak and were rooted to the foot of the Elite League table upon leaving for the trip the morning after the Giants went down 4-3 to Nottingham in a game that promised so much in terms of physical play but delivered so little. We had one fight between Lewis and Shmyr with the later very reluctant to fight thoughout the bout.

Heading to London for the opening two games of the new regular season we were a little more hopeful of some fast paced slick hockey with even a bout or two of fisty cuffs.
