Former Providence College hockey star and Johnston native Noel Acciari was sent down to Providence Bruins training camp by Boston head coach Claude Julien.
"It was Acciari’s first game, he showed some grit and even penalty killed," said Julien.
Acciari was sent down along with Chris Breen, Anthony Camara, Brandon DeFazio, Justin Hickman and Ben Sexton while the Bruins 2015 draft picks were returned to their junior teams.
