WILMINGTON, Mass.
In a season where former Boston College standout Jimmy Hayes is realizing his dream of playing for his hometown team, the Bruins have another local product who didn’t take long making an impact in Black and Gold.
After just one year at UMass-Amherst, the Bruins signed forward Frank Vatrano to an entry-level contract this summer. Since signing his first professional hockey contract, the East Longmeadow-born forward has done nothing but impress the B’s management and coaching staff.
Following a torrid pace with the Providence Bruins where he scored 10 goals in his first 10 games, Vatrano earned his first career call-up with Boston.
