MIKE FARRELL
DEFENSE

NUMBER: 23
SHOOTS: Right
HEIGHT: 5’11”
WEIGHT: Hmmm ...
BORN: Spring Lake, New Jersey
LIVES: Jackson, New Jersey
ACQUIRED: Signed as an unrestricted free agent (2002) to one-year contract.
BIO: Known as “Mike the D” after his Sunday night debut, Farrell brings his trademark red helmet and stay-at-home defensive style to the Pirate roster. Although he hates to admit he's friends with Pirate sniper Jimmy Ferraro and Scotty LeMatty, Farrell provides the same caliber of physical play at the blueline as those two teammates; in other words, you don't want to be in the crease when Mike is on the ice. In April 2007, successfully changed jersey from #21 to #23 after a lengthy S.O.C. battle (click on his image for photo and details).
MOST INFLUENCED BY:
The Great One, #99, of course.
