Contents 1 Playing career 2 Coaching career 3 Awards and honours 4 Career statistics 4.1 Regular season 5 References 6 External links Playing career Little has played for the Hershey Bears and Philadelphia Phantoms in the AHL, as well as playing two NHL games for the Philadelphia Flyers. He signed with the Espoo Blues in the Finnish SM-liiga for the 2005–06 season, playing until leaving the team because of a dispute with the Espoo coach, then finished the season in Geneva, Switzerland. He was the "flying goalie" in a brawl between the Phantoms and the Binghamton Senators: as several players from the two teams were fighting next to the Senators' net, Little skated across the rink and dived into the crowd. Coaching career

Following his playing career, Little was named an assistant coach/goaltending development coach for the Philadelphia Phantoms as well as a global scout for the Philadelphia Flyers, concentrating his focus on goaltenders. He is currently the assistant coach for the University of Princeton Men's hockey team for the 2010-11 season - his third year at that position.
