Shannon Hope

Shannon 'Shinedog' Hope was a fine defenceman for the Cardiff Devils with the ability to skate, score, and drop the gloves when necessary.

Shiney was a huge character in the British game during a golden era of entertainment and his ability and willingness to entertain the Devils fans on and off the ice with a hit, goal, fight or great anecdote gives him a special place in the hearts of the Devils fans.

Shannon also represented Great Britain 36 times and was captain of the national side.

Second all-time in PiMs for the Devils (1455), it should not be overlooked that Hope was also a winner, with four league titles and three Play-Off Championships during his 10 seasons in South Wales.
