Veteran Canadian defenseman Jeremy Rebek comes to Belfast with a wealth of experience having played 18 seasons of professional hockey in North America and Europe.

Rebek enjoyed a highly successful career in the Austrian League playing for Klagenfurt AC, Salzburg EC and Vienna. In 2005/2006 and 2007/2008 he led the Austrian National Team to victory as an Assistant Captain and was also selected as the Best Defenseman at both World Championships. In 2007/2008 in the Austrian League he earned the award for Most Points by a Defenseman with a total of 49 points. In 2009/2010 Rebek was an Austrian Champion and last season, he racked up a total of 34 points with 10 goals and 24 assists playing for Vienna.

Rebek will be one for opponents to watch out, his offensive style of play, as a defenseman, will certainly make him a scoring threat. His extensive hockey CV demonstrates his leadership capabilities and was the popular choice amongst the Giants players and coaching staff to lead the team as captain for the 2022-12 campaign.

“I have extremely high expectations for Jeremy. He has been a captain of multiple teams and he is a veteran player who knows what it takes to win. He has proven to be one of the best offensive defenceman in the Austrian League over the last few years and I am sure he will bring that element to the Giants this season.”
