Having played 3 seasons at Bracknell, Colin followed Dave Whistle across the Irish Sea to the new franchise in Belfast.
Described by Whistle as a 'mucker and grinder', Colin put up good numbers in his first two seasons with the Giants, scoring 29 points in 2000-01 and a very impressive 41 in 2001-02.
Last season Colin didn't perform to the expectations of many Giants fans posting 17 points in the regular season. A further 10 points came in the playoffs.
Colin has decided that this will be his final season as a professional hockey player.
