Kevin Riehl was the Giants first-line centerman for the final two of his three years in Belfast. Upon joining the team he joined on a two-year contract. His second season with the team was his most productive by far when he centered a line of Jason Ruff and Sean Berens as the Giants walked their way to the league crown scoring goals for fun. It was his third season however that he scored his most important goal for the team in the penalty shootout in the playoff semi-final against Sheffield to win the game and take the Giants to the final which they won the following day. There has been rumours of a return ever since he left but it’s never happened. He remains a Giants legend to this day.

After leaving the Giants Kevin went on to play in mainland Europe.
