Former NHL drafted netminder joins Belfast Giants with sights set on continuing upward trajectory
The 25-year-old German-born Canadian joins Jackson Whistle on the roster for the team's double defence having moved from German side Adler Mannheim, giving head coach Adam Keefe a pair of outstanding goaltenders to select from. While Whistle has proven himself to be capable of carrying the team to an Elite League title, being named the Giants' MVP last season in helping them win a League and Challenge Cup double thanks to a superb .928 save percentage, Gravel comes in with an excellent reputation. The Berlin-born netminder was not only drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Blackhawks but has won scores of individual awards during his career, including being named Outstanding Goaltender and to the First All-Star Team at the 2019 CHL Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads. As the Giants always look for during the off-season, Gravel also brings plenty of winning experience on the ice, too, having claimed gold with Canada at the 2018 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup and the 2022 University Cup with the University of Québec-Trois-Rivières. The latter of those achievements, coming in the first of three years with the Patriotes which saw him win silver in the University Cup in 2024, was accompanied by more individual recognition as Gravel was named the competition's Most Valuable Player, and he would rack up two more Second All-Star Team awards in his following two seasons. And he has since translated that into the professional sphere, returning to the full-time ranks last season – he had a brief stop with the Allen Americans in 2021 – with the ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears and excelled, putting up a .927 save percentage in 23 games and earning himself a brief loan spell with the AHL's Belleville Senators. His season would end in Mannheim, where he was signed to provide backup to now Dallas Stars goaltender Arno Tiefensee and veteran Felix Brückmann for the Deutsche Eishockey Liga Play-Offs, but he would make just two appearances for the Eagles. Now, however, he will look to win the battle for the starter's jersey out of training camp with Whistle ahead of their Champions League tilt, starting with a meeting with Finnish champions KalPa on August 28, but, regardless of who does come out on top, the Giants look very well-served at netminder. 'I'm really excited to be joining the Giants. I've heard great things about the club, the city, and especially the fanbase. Playing in Belfast is a great opportunity to continue developing my game and to compete for championships. I can't wait to get started,' commented Gravel. Keefe added: 'Alexis is a big young goalie with a bright future. He has played in some very big games throughout his career and has consistently risen to the challenge. He is an extremely competitive individual who wants to win. "He had a great first year pro last season, and we think he is only going to continue to get better. We are excited to bring him to Belfast.'

‘It fuels my motivation even more': Belfast Giants' MVP goaltender eyeing silverware after inking return
Netminder Jackson Whistle, the son of the organisation's first-ever head coach Dave Whistle, has signed up for a seventh campaign with the team off the back of another exceptional year that saw him lead the team to the double. The 30-year-old Great Britain international had been expecting to duel it out with Tom McCollum for the starter's jersey last season but instead quickly assumed the role of starter and thrived. In 37 games last season, Whistle kept an outstanding .928 save percentage and conceded just 1.98 goals per game on average which, unsurprisingly, saw him named the team's MVP in April. With that success at his back, particularly coming off the back of a 23/24 season where he took the starter's jersey off Giants hero Tyler Beskorowany, it is clear to see why the Giants wanted to bring him back and the feeling was mutual. 'It means a lot to be back in Belfast. Being named MVP was a real honour, and it fuels my motivation even more for what's ahead,' commented Whistle. "This club and this city have become home for me, and I'm focused on helping the Giants secure more silverware. The fans deserve that, and I'm ready to do everything I can to deliver.' Whistle first joined the Giants as a 21-year-old straight out of the junior Western Hockey League in Canada, where he played for the Kelowna Rockets, and after one season as back-up to Stephen Murphy led the team to Challenge Cup glory in 2018 as the starter. The Kelowna-born netminder, who grew up in Belfast with father Dave and brother Brandon, would move to the Sheffield Steelers the following season and then on to the Nottingham Panthers the season after that, which was curtailed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, before making his return to Belfast in 2021. And since then he has excelled, keeping a combined .924 save percentage and conceded an average of 2.04 goals per game in 121 appearances since, operating as an essential part of the team's dominance since the turn of the decade. His first two seasons, the first of which yielded a League and Cup double and then the Grand Slam a season later, were largely spent as the second choice to Beskorowany, but once he edged out the Canadian for the latter half of the 2023/24 campaign, Whistle would not look back. Last season was arguably his best yet as not only did the statistics prove his value but he delivered in the big games, too, keeping a shut-out in the Challenge Cup Final against the Cardiff Devils to win one trophy and then making a string of remarkable saves on the final weekend of the season against the Nottingham Panthers to clinch the League. On the international stage, Whistle has battled it out with Devils hero Ben Bowns since making his debut in 2018, the pair forming a strong tandem, with the Belfast star making 30 appearances for his country, including two at the recent World Championship Division 1A that saw Great Britain promoted back to the top tier.

NFL Star Makes Shocking Statement on Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Following his first NFL season, Los Angeles Rams defensive end Jared Verse came away with an unexpected take. The young pass rusher believes the Philadelphia Eagles has the best fans that don't root for the Rams. Quite the change of tune for the 24-year-old out of Florida State. "I got to give them that," Verse said on 'Whistle.' "I like when you kind of get into it. You're aggressive, you're loud, and all of that stuff. They stand by that, no doubt." Ahead of an Eagles-Rams clash in the 2025 NFC Divisional Round, Verse wasn't as complimentary to Philly fans. In fact, he claimed to have a hatred for them. "I hate Eagles fans," Verse stated. "They're so annoying. I hate Eagles fans." Despite not playing in front of Eagles fans outside of Los Angeles yet at the time, perhaps Verse got an idea of what they were like back when he lived in Pennsylvania during his earlier years. Running back Saquon Barkley #26 of the Philadelphia Eagles and linebacker Jared Verse #8 of the Los Angeles Rams interact after an NFL football game, at SoFi Stadium on November 24, 2024 in Inglewood, California.... Running back Saquon Barkley #26 of the Philadelphia Eagles and linebacker Jared Verse #8 of the Los Angeles Rams interact after an NFL football game, at SoFi Stadium on November 24, 2024 in Inglewood, California. MoreHe gave the Eagles and their fan base perfect bulletin board material ahead of an intense playoff matchup at Lincoln Financial Field. What started out as a cold, windy game turned into a snow bowl. The Rams put up a good fight, but the Eagles found the edge and knocked the Rams out of the postseason en route to their Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs a few weeks later. Although Verse's words back in January displayed a dislike for Eagles fans, it seems his feelings have turned into respect for the screaming fans in South Philly. When he was asked about the toughest fan base to face, in his opinion, Verse fired off the Eagles once again. Read More: NFL Writer Highlights Concerning Theories For Eagles' Saquon Barkley "Probably the Eagles! Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college," said Verse. "You never know what they are going to say, and they're going to try to like say disrespectful stuff. They are going to bring some stuff on you. They're not going to say something where you crossed the line, but they are going to say some stuff where you're like, 'Who are you talking to?'" With the Eagles defeating the Rams twice last season, and going on to win it all, Philly fans have likely let go of their mini-rivalry with Verse, especially now since he's been showing a lot of respect for their approach to spectating the game. Verse, the Defensive Rookie of the Year, will pay another trip to Philadelphia next season. After the Eagles visited the Rams in 2024, the schedule-makers will have the Rams and the Eagles battle it out at Lincoln Financial Field for a Divisional Round rematch.
