Coventry sent to Belfast.
06-Oct-2005 | Discuss this ArticleTomorrow night sees the first trip across the Irish Sea this season for the grand slam winning Coventry Blaze. The Blaze have played one game in the league so far, posting an impressive 2-0 win over the Nottingham Panthers.
Belfast Giants fans are eagerly awaiting news on netminder, Mike Minard, who has missed the last 3 games, having suffered a knee injury in the match against Basingstoke Bison. If Minard is not declared fit, 18 year old backup, Nathan Craze, will start. Nathan has registered 2 wins and 1 draw with the Giants so far, conceding 11 goals in the process.
Ex-Giants goalie, and shut-out record holder, Martin Klempa, will be icing with the Blaze.
Temporary signing, Matt Reid, should be icing in his last game, with Theo Fleury replacing him in time for the game on Friday 15th Oct against Edinburgh Capitals.
Both Shane Johnson and Chris McGimpsey are still injured and will not be icing.
