From Kelowna, the Great Britain international will return for his eighth season in teal, having first arrived in Belfast for the 2016/17 campaign. Across his seven seasons to date, Whistle has made more than 230 appearances in all competitions, contributing to nine trophy triumphs – four Elite League titles, four Challenge Cups, and one Elite League Playoff title. In addition to his time with the Giants, Whistle has also made 80 further appearances for the Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers.
Son of Dave Whistle – the Giants’ first-ever head coach – Jackson has established himself as a firm fan favourite and was voted as the club’s MVP during the 2024/25 season. Although dealt an injury that sidelined him towards the latter stages of the 2025/26 campaign, Whistle produced some crucial performances throughout the season, posting an impressive 0.929 save percentage and six shutouts domestically.
