After much speculation Peter Campbell and Stevie Lyle have left the Basingstoke Bison for the Belfast Giants.

Bison Head Coach Ryan Aldridge said "I would like to wish them all the best for the rest of the season. They kept me fully in the picture that they were talking to other teams and it was purely for business reasons beyond their control that they have left the club and we remain friends."

Ironically they are due to make their home debuts for the Giants against the visiting Herd on Thursday night.
