Belfast Giants Sign Steve Saviano
The Belfast Giants have signed Steve Saviano for the 2016/17 season.
Saviano, a forward from Reading in Massachusetts, joins the Giants from the Bolzano Foxes.
Saviano spoke to A View From The Bridge about what the Giants' fans can expect from him.
He said: "I work really hard on the ice every night. I usually bring a lot of speed and try to be a good teammate. I give it my all and that is all I can really do every night.
"It will be a fantastic experience for my family, I am excited about the opportunity and I cannot wait to get going in Belfast."
Steve Thornton, Giants Head of Hockey Operations, said: "Steve Saviano will make his line mates better – he can take d-men on one-on-one, goes to the net hard and is easy to play with.
"Steve has played in a lot of good leagues in Europe and had a great college career. Regardless of where we put him, Steve will produce for us."
