A reinforcement is on the way for the Providence Bruins, and possibly for the big club as well.
2019 first-round pick Johnny Beecher has decided to leave Michigan after his junior season and has signed an amateur tryout agreement (ATO) with Providence.
Beecher was reportedly on the ice this morning in Providence; the P-Bruins don’t play again until Tuesday against Lehigh Valley.
Beecher hasn’t signed his entry-level contract yet, so the ATO appears to be a way to officially get him in the mix while those details are hashed out.
From Don Sweeney in the team’s press release:
“The Bruins and Johnny are leaving all options open with regards to his availability for the remainder of this season and playoffs.
