New Belfast Giants star reveals stylish helmet artwork honouring Champions League winning goalkeeper
The Czech goalkeeper is considered to be one of the greatest football goalkeepers of all time, winning the 2012 Champions League and four Premier League titles with Chelsea, as well as five FA Cups during a glittering career that also saw him play for Arsenal. However, since retiring from football, he has returned to his first sporting love of ice hockey, playing primarily in the lower tiers of the English game with the likes of the Guildford Phoenix, Chelmsford Chieftains and Oxford City Stars. After featuring in a charity game at the SSE Arena to support Ukrainian ice hockey in the summer of 2023, Cech would be called up by the Giants as injury cover the following November, preceding two more short-term deals to help cover injuries in February and August the following year. The Plzen native would even get some time in a competitive game, coming on for the final four-and-a-half minutes of an Elite League clash with the Glasgow Clan in November 2023 and making one save without conceding in a 5-1 win at the SSE Arena. While Cech has not been signed to the Giants' roster for the upcoming season – yet – the ex-Premier League star will still be in Belfast in some capacity as he features on the back of Gravel's helmet, which the new netminder revealed on Instagram on Sunday. The 25-year-old, who signed for the Giants from German side Adler Mannheim this summer, is an avid football fan and showed off the new artwork that reflects Cech lifting the Champions League trophy, flanked by the Canadian and United Kingdom flags. Gravel, a former NHL Draft pick with the Chicago Blackhawks, will battle it out for game time with Great Britain international Jackson Whistle this season but arrives with significant pedigree as a former CHL First Team All-Star honouree and an Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup winner.

Brendan Rodgers gives update on Kieran Tierney and shrugs off narrow St Mirren win ahead of Celtic's crunch UCL tie
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRENDAN RODGERS has vowed Celtic will be ready for their £40million Champions League crunch. Sub Luke McCowan hit the winner against St Mirren this weekend with a deflected shot two minutes from time. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Brendan Rodgers insists he will have this Celtic team ready for their UCL play-off Credit: PA The Euro play-off draw takes place tomorrow and Rodgers said: 'I'm feeling really good. We've had a really good pre-season. The players are shaping up very well and there's real spirit and solidarity in the team. 'We know whoever we get it's going to be tough, but it will also be tough for them. 'We'll be ready for the games. They are always tense matches, but we're in a good place and we'll take that game on when it comes.' Rodgers was happy with his side's display against Stephen Robinson's Saints, despite how long they had to wait for the goal. He added: 'To win in the first game of the season is always good, and it rounds off a lot of the good work we've done over pre-season. 'I'm absolutely pleased with the performance. 'Everyone knows St Mirren and Stephen's coaching qualities. They are such a hard team to break down. 'You have to be aware of the threat on the counter-attack and their physicality at set-pieces. 'All of that we dealt so well with and the keeper's made some brilliant saves, which keeps the game in the balance. 'At times we moved the ball really well. At other times we could have attacked more when we got into certain positions and been more aggressive. Nicolas Kuhn poses for selfies with Celtic fans as he greets team-mates and Brendan Rodgers at Como Cup 'But overall, to play against that team and that system, that's how you've got to work it.' Boss Rodgers hailed Kieran Tierney's display, confirming the defender was only taken off with cramp in the second half. He said: 'He's got a great reception and you see the qualities he has. 'Kieran had a bit of cramp at the end. He hasn't played a lot of football and that's part of managing him through this period.' Celts are set to confirm the signing of defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, 19, who was in the stand watching, on loan from Manchester City. Rodgers added: 'We're still waiting for clearance, but he's up here ready for the move.' Buddies boss Robbo said: 'Defensively, we were superb. We were very well-organised. 'People use that as a slight against St Mirren, but that is one of the basics of management. 'It is disappointing to lose to a deflection. Our level of performance showed that Celtic were trying to waste time in the last five minutes.' 2 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
