“Honestly, the big decision was the people that I get an opportunity to work with,” said Larsen. “And after having many conversations with Ryan [Huska] and some of his staff, and with Connie [Flames general manager Craig Conroy] a little bit, it just felt very comfortable. With our conversations and their expectations and where the team’s at and their vision, so that was real important to me. When I commit to something, I like to stick to it and I want to see it through. Sometimes there’s hard years in there, and okay. I think there’s lots to learn in those hard years and you grow together. That’s the exciting part, there’s a really good mix of young and older guys here, and I’m just looking forward to getting back to work.”
