The left winger from Calgary, Alberta joined the Stars in 2014, after spending the previous year with the club’s Scottish rivals, Braehead Clan, where he put up 34 points (12 goals + 22 assists) in 39 games.
Lust had a 12 year professional hockey career behind him when he came to Dundee and the then 28-year-old had previously played in the Alberta and British Columbia Junior Hockey Leagues, Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and the French first division.
The Canadian begun his career back in 2002 with the Calgary Flames Under 18 triple A team, then during his junior career, he iced for Chilliwack Chiefs, Fort Saskatchewan Traders, and Calgary Royals.
Shane then studied and played at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) for four years before turning professional with French side, Morzine-Avoriaz.
After two years in France, Lust then joined the EIHL in 2011 and signed with the Clan.
In the 2014-2015 season, Shane played in 43 Elite League matches, made 6 Challenge Cup appearances and racked up a total of 36 points.
Lust stood out on the ice during that season, as he was the main threat to the opposition goal and he had that experience of playing in the league the previous season, which helped the team in some clutch situations.
At the end of the season, Lust moved on and played his final year of pro hockey, as he signed in America with Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey League.
