Summer 2010 Belser shined in the Dolphin Park Classic in Vancouver, B.C. on team "Reign" with good friend and semi-pro player Virgil Matthews. Belser put on a "clinic" as said by many Canadian basketball pundits going on several shooting sprees having multiple defenders thrown at him without any effect. Belser notably made a play late in the playoffs where he had 1 man to beat and threw one of the hardest shoulders every seen by anybody in attendance right into the sternum of Jacob Doerksen (Trinity Western U) fracturing Doerksen's collarbone and sternum in the process and scoring. Doerksen was left dazed and stunned until medical professionals led him off. The Reign made a deep playoff run, losing to eventual champs the X-falcons led by Randy Nohr former Team Canada All-Star. In Late 2010 he played for Aris in A1 Greek League but finished in his season in Ukraine.
