A recent article in the Belfast Telegraph has highlighted the promising future that Kell Beattie has ahead of him at the Belfast Giants.
We are very proud of Kell and his achievements in such a specialist sport.
The press release stated;
‘While for the next couple of seasons it will make recruitment interesting for the Giants as they will have to go elsewhere for their British talent, there are hopes that the new laws will provide incentive to some of the young, local players to make the step up.
In particular, there's hopes that a quartet of young Northern Irish players could be future Giants given their recent successes for the Junior Giants.
Carter Hamill, Mack Stewart and Cameron Hamill are three of the most promising forwards in the system, while Kell Beattie - who helps out Giants equipment manager Jason 'Taff' Ellery - is an up-and-coming defenceman.
While the four will not make an impact on the Giants for the next few years while they continue developing - all of them are just 15-years-old - there's hope that they can become regular contributors if they make the step up.
"Any young, local guys we can bring in and make a part of this only makes us better. As an organisation, we want to have local guys here and playing for the crest," adds Adam Keefe (Belfast Giants’ Head Coach)
"Hopefully those guys can develop and end up here in the future. They’re still pretty young, though, and they may have school aspirations or different career paths. We’ll keep an eye on them for sure.”' ‘
