October 5, 2022 – The Providence Bruins began their training camp on Monday, October 3. There is no information from the club about whether any of the sessions are open to the public, although the team did post some pictures and a video on their official instagram and twitter feeds.
Mark Divver did report on his twitter feed that several players destined for the Bruins’ ECHL affiliate Maine Mariners were present for one of the early workouts.
“Invites from Maine Mariners at Providence Bruins camp: Nick Master, Reid Stefanson, Keltie Jeri-Leon, Marc-Olivier Duquette, Nate Kallen and Mitch Fossier.”
All Mariners practices will be held at Troubh Ice Arena in Portland, ME and are open to the public, free of charge. The full schedule is below:
TUE Oct. 11 9:45 AM
WED Oct. 12 10:00 AM
THU Oct. 13 9:45 AM
FRI Oct. 14 10:00 AM
The Mariners were able to put a post together so fans could be kept informed about camp. How about you Providence Bruins?
10/4/2022 – The Boston Bruins announced several transactions as they get closer to their opening night roster configuration.
Three players have been placed on waivers in order to assign them to the Providence Bruins. Forward Oskar Steen and defensemen Connor Carrick and Nick Wolff will have to clear league waivers unclaimed before they can suit up for the AHL team. It’s unlikely any of the three will be claimed although Steen may draw some interest.
Steen is on a two-year, one-way $800k contract through the 2023/24 season. Both Carrick and Wolff are on one-year, two-way deals with Woolf becoming an RFA and Carrick a UFA at the end of this season.
In addition, three other defensemen, Victor Berglund, Mike Callahan and Kai Wissmann, are exempt from waivers and have been directly assigned to Providence.
