It may have ended in disappointment but the Belfast Giants can ultimately look back on another hugely successful season that yielded two trophies, as Adam Keefe reflected after today's Play-Off Semi-Final loss to the Cardiff Devils m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/ice-hock…

Not an easy way to end the season for the Belfast Giants but at the end of the day there are two more banners hung from the ceiling of the SSE Arena and that's what captain Mark Cooper is taking into the off-season

A busy morning at the media briefing for this summer's Open Championship at Royal Portrush G.C., which is set to bring in 278,000 spectators, the second most in championship history

I'm a day late but interesting to note that Robert Baloucoune is still out of contract at the end of the season but not included in the departures. You feel like an extension would have been announced. Same applies to Ethan McIlroy, Conor McKee, Ben Moxham and David Shanahan.

How about this for a remarkable stat - the Nottingham Panthers winning the Play-Offs was the first Elite Ice Hockey League | #EIHL trophy not lifted by a Whistle brother since the 2022 Play-Offs (Cardiff). Talk about family dominance.

Grattis till Luleå Hockey som blivit SHL-mästare! Will never forget the CHL trip there back in 2019, some of the nicest and most accommodating people in hockey - wouldn't mind a return there in August!

The Champions Hockey League league stage draw is confirmed for May 21 and, based on previous years, here’s what the pools will look like (to be officially confirmed!). A reminder that the Belfast Giants will face two teams from each of Pots 1, 2 and 3, one home and one away.

Jude Postlethwaite has been involved in 16 of Ulster's 21 games this season and yet the experience of playing for his province is still "surreal" The 23-year-old talks finding his confidence, his Ireland A experience and a huge game against Munster belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/rugby/ul…

Not exactly blockbuster signings for Ulster, but McGuire looks like he has potential to build on alongside Scott Wilson at tighthead at least. Could yet be an astute pick-up. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/rugby/ul…

The IRFU axing the Men's Sevens programme is a huge move. I appreciate plenty of factors behind it but to completely wipe out an entire form of the game is a bold call.

A year ago, Zac Ward led Ireland to a second place finish in the Sevens World Series and the Quarter-Finals of the Paris Olympics. Yesterday, the team was axed altogether by the IRFU. The Ulster winger spoke to me about his anger at the decision ⬇️ belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/rugby/se…

The challenge for McIlroy was to not play himself out of the tournament but you feel like he might have done that. You just know he's still going to top-10 though.

A first confirmed departure from the Belfast Giants this off-season as Pierre-Olivier Morin heads to France and to Bordeaux. Morin scored 19 goals and 46 points on the way to a double last season.
