Mary BethGUEST
Age-wise, he's a little bit older.
Mary BethGUEST
But the other thing is he is established with the Providence Bruins now.
Mary BethGUEST
And sometimes we will see them, even when they've been playing with the Providence Bruins.
Mary BethGUEST
But more likely, once they are an established professional player for a couple of years, we're not going to see them at Rookie Camp, particularly as they get a little bit older.
Mary BethGUEST
Yes.
Mary BethGUEST
He is an established player.
Mary BethGUEST
professional player and age-wise at 24, right on that bubble of what you'd consider for rookie camp.

Doesn't mean that we won't see him, but he has signed in and he's been with the Providence Bruins for a number of years now.
Joe HaggertyHOST
He came in, he did all the right things.
Joe HaggertyHOST
They gave him a really good chance last year and a really good spot 'cause he earned it, and he deserved it after a really good camp a- and, you know, being in Providence all the way through the year before and playing in the playoffs with the Providence Bruins, and he did all the steps that they wanted him to do developmentally, and it worked.
Joe HaggertyHOST
Like, it works when the player is the right player, you know, and when he's doing the right things and when he's taking advantage of those opportunities.
Joe HaggertyHOST
Like-
Joe HaggertyHOST
He came in, he did all the right things.

Trevor BeggsGUEST
This is a very young team, uh, a coaching staff with not a lot of experience.
Trevor BeggsGUEST
Um, the guys they brought in, you know, one of the assistants, Ryan Moganell, uh, was head coach of the Providence Bruins the last five seasons.
Trevor BeggsGUEST
Uh, Jordan Smith was Manny's right-hand man in, in Abbotsford, and Jason Krog, uh, has been a skills coach with Vancouver in Abbotsford for the last couple seasons.
Trevor BeggsGUEST
So it is a very inexperienced staff, but I think they got the right mentality.
Amy RosenfeldGUEST
And it really came to fruition in I can't remember, it was 93, 94.
Amy RosenfeldGUEST
One of my years as the Bruins producer, the NHL went on strike and we did a heavy, heavy... lift of AHL games, Providence Bruins, um, and the Portland Pirates.
Amy RosenfeldGUEST
And I just got really connected to the whole environment, the passionate fan base, the fact that it was accessible.
Amy RosenfeldGUEST
And this is, you know, back in the mid nineties, um, you know, Bruins were still expensive.
