“I’m happy to be back with the Little Flyers, when A-Lo and Jim Watson reached out to me to discuss rejoining the organization in this role, I knew it was the right time to return to a place that feels like home” said Narrigan.  “My time here with Mark (Mark Catron) and George (George Lewis) helped me develop a lot as a coach and a person.  As always our goal is to develop our guys for the next chapter of their life whether that be moving up to the EHL or going to college.  I’m really excited about our group, we have some good returning players from last season and a good class of recruits coming in.  I can’t wait to get to work over the summer and training camp" concluded Narrigan.
