Gutted by this one. Karl is one of those "leave it all on the ice" types. Flames fans are going to love him...

This is great news. I was hearing on the weekend how much their hockey sponsorship means to @O2 so if they are as focused in with the Giants this could be massive for the team.
๐Ÿ“ข The Odyssey Trust and O2 are proud to announce a new long-term partnership that will see the leading telecoms and entertainment brand become the official naming rights partner for Belfastโ€™s iconic Odyssey site ๐Ÿค Having been Northern Irelandโ€™s leading leisure, entertainment and education destination since 2000, the new 10-year naming rights agreement will see the entire complex rebranded as The O2 Belfast, effective 1 July 2026. The new partnership will see O2 become the title sponsor of the Belfast Giants, marking a major milestone for the only professional ice hockey team on the island of Ireland. With the team showcasing the O2 logo, the Giants will be joining Englandโ€™s menโ€™s and womenโ€™s international rugby union teams โ€“ a partnership which spans over 30 years. The agreement represents O2โ€™s first step into ice sports and its first major sponsorship of a Northern Irelandโ€“based team ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ“ฐ Read more โ†’ bit.ly/GiantsO2 #WeAreGiants

Here if needed ๐Ÿ‘€ | #EIHL The league trophy is in Belfast should the Giants win the title tonight or tomorrow. It will go to Manchester on Sunday should it be necessary.

A lot of people know me primarily as someone who covers women's rugby, and I've been quiet on that front for a while... I threw together a post to explain why (please excuse the self indulgence). open.substack.com/pub/pwrpoiโ€ฆ

I like this a lot. Hopefully this is a precursor to a two-way next season and some opportunities alongside.

that glove is a thing of beauty!
I absolutely LOVE this. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1988 Dutch home kit design. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Ceddanne Rafaelaโ€™s glove on the left Oranje kit on the right

The @BelfastGiants have a decision to make on breakout star Carter Hamill soon, who has two goals and five points in 17 games. He can only play four more before he must sign a full deal as opposed to a two-way. Will be interesting to see what they do when he reaches the limit.

fully agree with this. Hoping to see Carter in a full-time role next season.
Former GB junior standout and personal favourite Carter Hamill has been killing it with @BelfastGiants 5 points in 16 games playing under 5 minutes a game is unreal production He plays with a relentlessness you can't teach and it will keep him in this league for a long time

Pretty poor statement here. Another own goal from Fife in a season full of them...
Pride update ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ Pride Night is an important opportunity for our organisation to celebrate diversity and reaffirm our commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone in our community. Following internal discussion, we want to clarify how tonightโ€™s Pride Night will now be reflected on the ice. The team will wear Pride-themed jerseys during warm-ups and will compete in standard Fife Flyers home jerseys for the game itself. This approach allows us to support Pride Night while also respecting the diversity of backgrounds and personal beliefs within our playing group. Our commitment to inclusion and our support for the LGBTQ community remains unchanged. As part of that commitment, we will move forward with our post-game auction of the player-issued Pride jerseys, with proceeds from the auction being donated to support the work of The Hive. The Hive Kirkcaldy is a safe, welcoming community hub that supports the LGBTQ community through wellbeing services, peer groups, therapy, food support, and spaces to connect, learn, and belong. We are proud to support the important work they do within our local community. If youโ€™d like to learn more about the work of The Hive, please visit their website: thehivefife.org.uk/ We believe hockey is for everyone, and we remain dedicated to fostering a space where all fans, players, and staff feel respected, valued, and welcome. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Very sorry to see Marcus move on. He added a lot to the team.
๐Ÿ“ฐ The Belfast Giants can confirm that forward Marcus Eriksson will depart the club and return to Sweden for personal reasons. We would like to thank Marcus for all his efforts during his time as a Giant and wish him the best for the future. #WeAreGiants
