Steve Thornton, Sports Director at The Odyssey Trust, said: “Fastenal’s support of the NHL demonstrates their passion for ice hockey, and we’re proud to bring that commitment to Belfast through this new partnership. Aligning with a partner of Fastenal’s caliber reflects the ambitions of our organisation, and we look forward to building a strong and successful relationship together in the season ahead.”

Fastenal has been an official partner of the NHL in North America since August 2020, and its sponsorship of the Giants is the company’s first foray into the Elite Ice Hockey League. Fastenal began operating in Northern Ireland in 2012; and like the Giants, has grown with the community.

Andrew Davidson, Regional Vice President of Fastenal, commented: “As part of the Northern Ireland business landscape for 13 years, we’ve built teams, we’ve built businesses, and we’ve become part of the fabric of the city and country. We’re extremely proud to represent Belfast in this endeavour, and we’re dedicated to the future growth of Northern Ireland.”
