 Drew finished 2nd on the Little Flyers roster in scoring with 53 points while tying for the team lead in goals with 22. He was selected an EHL Mid-Season all star as well as 2nd team all EHL.   “Drew is a pure goal scorer, he is extremely dangerous with the puck on his stick below the top of the ciricles” Said Little Flyer Head Coach Rocky Russo. “With that being said he was also a very responsible centerman in the defensive zone and a leader both on and off the ice. His work ethic in the gym and commitment to continuously improve is what garnered him so much success”. Gannon said, “Playing for Coach Russo and the Little Flyers has been a great experience for me. I had a great group of guys as teammates, a great billet family and a coaching staff that always pushed me hard to succeed”.  Gannon also added, “I would like to thank Coach Russo, Coach McCarthy, my Billet Family and Mr. and Mrs. Giacobbo. I would also like to thank Coach Belisle at UMass-Boston for giving me the opportunity to continue my playing career while working towards my college degree. Most importantly i would like to thank my parents and my family for all of their support and their commitment to my goals.” Drew will be joining fellow Little Flyer Garrett Gallagher in the incoming freshman class at UMass-Boston.

Drew is the 6th Little Flyer to make his NCAA Plans, joining Garrett Gallagher (UMASS-Boston), Zach Felser (Suny-Cortland), Blake Delisle (Trinity College), Jacob Paluch (Nazareth College) and Cody Slocum (Worchester State)
