View from the Bench
Head Coach, Danny Stewart, said: "Belfast have everything. They are a great side and have a really deep roster.
"They have quality all over and three lines that could potentially be a first line on other teams. Then they roll a fourth line that is as good as any in the league.
"They've also got some great quality on the back end. They play heavy, they play hard and they play physical.
