Biography

The upcoming season will mark the St. Louis-born forward’s seventh with the Giants, having first arrived in Belfast during the 2019/20 campaign. Since becoming a Giant, Goodwin has been a talismanic presence and formidable leader on and off the ice, having served as captain for three seasons.

After four successful NCAA seasons with Penn State University between 2013 and 2017, Goodwin began his professional career with SaiPa in the Finnish Liiga, where he notched 61 total points in 130 appearances, before making the move to the Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan with Mora IK for the 2019/20 season. It was midway through this campaign that Goodwin recorded his first stint with the Giants, scoring 29 total points in 34 outings.

Following a season away with Polish side Cracovia Krakow, Goodwin would make his return to Belfast ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, for which he would be appointed captain for the first time. Over the two seasons that followed, Goodwin would tally an astonishing 158 points in just 138 games in all competitions, guiding the Giants to five trophies, including the club’s first-ever domestic treble in 2022/23.

After departing Belfast for Club Hielo Jaca of the Spanish Liga Nacional de Hockey Hielo at the conclusion of the 2022/23 season, Goodwin found his way back to Belfast during the 2023/24 campaign, offering poise and stability during a period marred by injury.
