Naylor working for another team owned by Wes Mussio. As with all other teams he has been involved with likely Goalie Coach will be Jordan Naylor.
With his past record, this team is going to be in a world of hurt!
Jordan Naylor attended the Vipers training camp in 2016
Darren is an outstanding hockey man who will do a fantastic job
