Belfast Giants Captain Adam Keefe has signed a new contract that will see him return for the 2016/17 Elite League season.

The Canadian joined the Giants in 2011 and has won two Elite League Championships with the team.

Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations, said: "Adam Keefe plays to win every game night and he is the fans favourite for a reason. Most importantly for me and for the fans, he wants to win more titles in Belfast.

"Adam embodies the true meaning of the Giants with his work with charities, schools and youth groups throughout Northern Ireland."

Adam said: "After my first season here, winning a league championship along with my experience of the fans and the city, I have been hungry to continue to bring trophies back to the city.”

"The passion that the fans bring to our games makes me and the team want to continue to play hard for them and that has been the driving force for me to come back."
