Shield said: “After 11 seasons as a Belfast Giant, it is no secret there is something special about being a Giant and I am proud to call Belfast my home. I would like to thank the organisation,

“The Trust, Robert, Eric, Steve for all they have done for me since taking over. In those early years I don’t think we would have been here if it wasn’t for Jim Gillespie and family. A truly special man who we owe a great deal of gratitude.

“All of my coaches since that first day I laced up my skates, your mentorship and teaching has helped mould me into the player and person I am today.”
