The Northern Irish borrowed the 41-year-old Czech, who has been employed on skates and ice at lower-class British clubs in recent years, from Oxford City Stars.
The Giants, who defeated Red Bull Salzburg (1-0) and lost to Innsbruck (1-2) in the Champions Hockey League this year, announced this on Wednesday.

Cech, who played more than 600 games for Chelsea and Arsenal, ended his football career in 2019 and then switched to ice hockey.
