Only a fortnight or so into the ninth (hard to believe it's that long already!) off season in Belfast Giants history and for a change things seem to be moving along rather quickly and indeed rather impressively.
In previous off seasons in Belfast we have had to worry about various things. Have we a coach in place? When are we going to sign someone? Everyone else has half a roster! And even more worryingly, will we have a team to support?
As reported by Leafy last week, GM Todd Kelman has worked swiftly in appointing a new coach in Steve Thornton, a move which has pleased many.
