NEWS: Beca took his time – but delighted with move

NEXT HOME GAME: The Braehead Clan face the Belfast Giants in an exciting start to the season on Sunday 28th August (6:00pm face-off). Tickets are available NOW via TICKETMASTER, by calling 0844 499 1700 or direct at the Braehead Arena box office.

intu Braehead Clan forward Matt Beca admits he took his time to make the decision to come to the club – but not because he had any doubts.

 

The 30-year-old took his time as he weighed up his options for the new seasons and after doing his due diligence, found it to be the move that made him most comfortable.

 

And he says he was attracted by the ambition of the club.

 

“I’m not the best at making decisions so it took me a little longer once I thought everything through and make sure I was comfortable with the move,” Beca admitted.

 

“Like anyone else, once I’ve made that decision, I want to be sure that I’m going to be happy and there won’t be any second thoughts.

 

“Talking with coach Finnerty and the five guys I’ve known that have played at Braehead, they’ve never had a bad thing to say about the organisation or the area.

 

“The ambition shone through a lot and as a player, you always want to go to an organisation that’s committed to winning instead of finishing in the middle of the pack.

 

“It made it very comfortable for me to decide that would be the right move for me and I’m pleased to have made it. After weighing up all the pros and cons, it was an easy call.”

 

And Beca reckons this is the most thrilling time of the year for any player as the new season gets ever closer and the 30-year-old is looking forward to the other aspects of the move too.

 

He added: “This is most definitely the exciting time and I’m really excited to be coming over. It’s gets boring just working out all the time through the summer and skating on your own.

 

“It’ll be great to explore Glasgow and places around it and everyone I know that’s been there has loved it so I’m looking forward to seeing it for myself.

 

“I think the league will be a great challenge and will be a bit more like playing back home in North America than in some of the other leagues in Europe I’ve played in.

“From what I know, the league is getting stronger every year and there’s no easy nights. When you go into a game, you have to be ready for a battle.”
