BESKOROWANY JOINS UP WITH GIANTS

Date:  Source: Elite Ice Hockey League

New Belfast Giants netminder Tyler Beskorowany revealed shared ambitions with the Giants management convinced him to sign for the club.

The former Edinburgh Capitals goalie is back in the Elite League for next season after agreeing to join Adam Keefe’s men, replacing Jackson Whistle, who signed for Sheffield Steelers.

And he says he’s already getting his training started ahead of the new campaign.

“I spoke with Steve Thornton and Adam Keefe and we were all on the same page with regards to our ambitions moving forward,” Beskorowany told ‘A View from the Bridge.’

“The Giants are a tremendous organisation and a professional one and I could not be happier to move to Belfast.

“I’ll start my pre-season training this month so that I will be prepared for training camp in August. I will be ready to go and be in good form to get the season going in Belfast.”

The 28-year-old signed for the Capitals in January after a short spell with FHL side Cornwall Nationals, making 15 appearances before injury ended his season prematurely.

In fact, one of only two wins he experienced between the pipes for the Caps was in a 4-2 victory at Belfast that was seen as damaging to the Giants’ chances of a league title.

But Beskorowany is also a former DEL Goalie of the Year, an accolade he won while playing for Dusseldorfer in 2014/15, where he helped them to a fifth place finish, showing the quality he has as gets ready for a new challenge in Belfast.
