Belfast Giants To Pay Tribute To Stephen Clements

The Belfast Giants will pay tribute to their former game night host Stephen Clements at the opening of tonight's match against the Sheffield Steelers.

The popular radio presenter passed away on Tuesday at the age of 47.

As well as building a successful career on the airwaves as Q Radio Breakfast host before landing his "dream job" at Radio Ulster last September, Stephen also hosted Belfast Giants games at the SSE Arena.

The ice hockey team will hold a minutes applause to celebrate the father-of-two's life.

Those attending the game are asked to be in their seats for 7pm to facilitate the tribute.

The much loved presenter's funeral service will be held in private next week.
