The Mounties wasted no time making sure Deegan Farrell understood he was wanted. βThe main reason I chose Mount Allison was (that) the coaches took interest and talked to me a lot more than other schools,β he said. βIt seems like more of a family dynamic in the team where as to other schools I seem to be more of a number to them.β
He added that, βI already like the coaches. They seem very invested in what theyβre doing and come across as a great group to play under.β
Standing at 6β2, 200lbs, Farrell is interested in taking chemistry. He said, βThat has always been my favourite subject in school and I am very interested in it.β
Farrell spent five years with the St. Stephen Silverados (NBHSFL) in his hometown of St. Stephen, New Brunswick. He also spent three seasons with the St. Stephen Spartans. He is a three-time NBHSFL all-star. He was a league defensive MVP and league MVP. In 2018 he helped his team to a championship win off an undefeated season.
