Manchester Storm are delighted to announce the return of blueliner Chase Harrison.

The 26-year-old left-hander has over 200 ECHL appearances over five seasons representing: Jacksonville IceMen; Norfolk Admirals; South Carolina Stingrays and Rapid City Rush. 

Prior to professional hockey, Harrison rubbed shoulders with several NHL current players during a successful four-year tenure with Regina Pats of the WHL, in the major juniors. In 240 games, Harrison tallied 17 goals and 94 assists, as well as being awarded the ‘A’ in 2015-16. 

The defencemen first arrived in Manchester early November 2022 and his smooth-skating caught the eye of fans and coaches throughout the league. However, a good bond with the city and coaching staff ensured the Storm retained their man for the upcoming 2023/24 Elite League season. 

In 43 EIHL matches, Harrison had 10 points (2G 8A) and regularly logged big minutes within the top two defensive pairings. 

Matt Ginn, Head Coach, had this to say about the returning man: “Chase came in midway through last season and played a big part in solidifying our defensive game. He is very good defensively and takes pride in being hard to play against. Chase is a great teammate and a player that leads by example. He was also a big reason why the penalty kill improved when we brought him in. I’m thrilled to bring Chase back this season.”

The returning defenceman added: “I’m super excited to be back in Manchester and can’t wait to be back in the storm shelter in front of the best fans in the league. We really started to find our identity as a team last year and I’m excited to keep that going into this season and see what we can do”
