Experienced Head Coach Adam Keefe helped draw up the match-ups for the 2025/26 Regular Season yesterday. Following the Draw, we caught up with the Canadian for a short interview.
The 41-year-old has been with the Belfast Giants for over a decade and will enter his fourth Champions Hockey League season with the EIHL side later this year, how have Belfast and the opposition evolved since the first time the Giants played in 2019? "The standards have risen, we feel we belong and we want to continue to grow," said Keefe.
"We want to make the Playoffs"Adam Keefe, Belfast Giants
Belfast have amazing fans that have proven themselves to Europe's very best time and time again, how have they embraced the Champions Hockey League?
"They're fantastic, we really want to win for them. They are one of the big reasons why we win and we always look to reward them for everything," he responded.
The last time the Giants played in the CHL, they won all three of their home games and missed out on qualifying for the Playoffs by a single point, is that the goal for 2025/26?
"Absolutely," was Keefe's response, "we're no longer happy to just take part."
