Belfast Giants Select coach: Bruins are the “real deal”

We’re a little under a month before the Bruins fly across the Atlantic to take on their greatest threat to a Stanley Cup — the Belfast Giants Select.

Paul Thompson, GB National Team and Coventry Blaze coach, had some nice things to say about the Bs.

“Make no mistake about this, the Bruins are bringing the real deal to Belfast in October.” –Paul Thompson

It’s called Bruins.

While we assume the Bruins aren’t going to field an AHL squad against the Giants Select, the Giants are busy going through the EIHL rosters to pick their All-Star team. The just filled four more roster spots, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

“These four players are an indication that we are not just trying to have an All-Star team. We are looking for a complete team that can push the Bruins for 60 minutes.” –Thompson, BelfastGiants.com
