Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei pene - I whanau a Larsen i Nakusp, British Columbia, engari i tipu ake ia i Vernon, British Columbia. I takaro ia i te hockey hukapapa rangatahi mo te Swift Current Broncos i reira i kukume ai ia i te aro o nga kaitirotiro NHL. I hangaia a Larsen i te rauna 3, 53rd katoa na nga Ottawa Senators i te 1995 NHL Entry Draft. I hokona ana mana ki te Colorado Avalanche i te tau 1996. Kaore ia i hainatia e te Avalanche i te 1997 NHL Entry Draft
I te ra kotahi, ka uru ano ia ki te kaupapa, a, i whakauruhia e te 87 o te katoa e te Avalanche.
