Acciari had a shining collegiate career with the Providence Friars before joining the Baby B's in 2015, and earned his first call-up in early 2016.
After a collegiate career that culminated in a 2015 NCAA National Champsionship, Providence Friars forward Noel Acciari was signed by the Bruins to an entry-level contract and spent much of this season with the Providence Bruins in his old "hometown". Acciari was decorated in that championship season for his strength as a defensive forward by both Hockey East and the NCAA; and, given the Boston Bruins' proclivity for defensive forwards (not to mention that Acciari is a 'good New England boy') it looked great on paper.
