From Ballymoney, Dickson has become a true stalwart of the Giants, with over 15 years of service to the club. Having first joined the Giants in 2009, Dickson has since become a fan favourite and one of the most recognisable and respected figures in the locker room. His dedication, professionalism, and passion for the badge have earned him legendary status in Belfast and across the Elite League.
An unequivocal fan favourite, Dickson is among the longest tenured Giants in club history, with six Elite League championships, five Challenge Cups, and an Elite League Playoffs title to his name. The 2025/26 season will mark the Ballymoney native’s 15th season in teal. Dickson remains a key presence both on and off the ice. While his role has evolved over the years, his reliability in net and unwavering commitment to the team have remained constants throughout his career.
As is often said, the importance of Dickson cannot be measured by stats and appearances. The long-time backup netminder does much of his hard work behind closed doors in practice, and his willingness to go the extra mile in team preparations has also endeared him to scores of Belfast Giants players who have played in the city.
Off the ice, Dickson is a respected figure within the locker room — known for his humility, work ethic, and deep understanding of what it means to be a Belfast Giant. His presence brings continuity and connection, linking past and present teams through his long-standing commitment to the club.
Dickson began his career in the Irish Ice Hockey League with the Belfast City Bruins and Castlereagh Spartans between 2007 and 2010, before joining Gillingham-based Invicta Dynamos, posting a .912 save percentage across 19 games played in the 2010/11 season. Ahead of the 2011/12 season, Dickson took the step into professional ice hockey, joining the Belfast Giants on a permanent basis.
