NEW: Star Hockey Recruit to Enroll at Providence College

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

 

Despite being the first scholastic player selected in the 2012 NHL Draft, star center Mark Jonkowski has decided to play hockey for Providence College.

The 17-year-old Jankowski was selected 21st overall by the Calgary Flames, and originally planned to in the United States Hockey League for the Dubuque Fighting Saints before enrolling at Providence for the fall of 2013.

Providence held a scholarship open for the 6-foot-2 Ontario native in case he decided to enroll a year earlier, and the move appears to have paid off. The Friars hope Jankowski can help them become more competitive in the brutal Hockey East conference that features perennial powers such as reigning national champion Boston College.
