Matthew Gaudreau has signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Bridgeport is the AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders. Gaudreau joins fellow Boston College hockey little brother, Stephen Gionta, in the Islanders organization. Gionta is currently in the NHL but has split the year between the Islanders and Sound Tigers.
Gaudreau will likely join the team tonight - The Sound Tigers are playing at Springfield at 7 PM.
Gaudreau went undrafted, but during his four years at Boston College he has proven that he is more than just Johnny Gaudreau’s brother. Matt led the Eagles in points (35) and assists (27) this season, putting up more points than a number of highly drafted players in the NCAA.
