New recruits
Providence College coach Nate Leaman continues to bring in reinforcements for the upcoming season, with Matt Montesano and Kyle Murphy the latest to join the Friars.
Montesano, 20, from West Bridgewater, Mass., is a 6-foot-1 center. Before deciding on PC this week, he was set to play for Sioux City of the United States Hockey League this season.
He played for Boston College High School and the Boston Advantage Midgets before spending last season with Bonnyville of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, where he had 27-36-63 totals in 67 games.
Murphy, 21, is a transfer from Notre Dame, and will be a junior at PC.
The 5-foot-9 winger was scoreless in 17 games for Notre Dame in 2009-10. Last season he played for Vernon of the British Columbia Hockey League and posted 18-24-42 totals in 58 games.
A native of New Jersey, Murphy attended Shattuck-St. Mary’s School in Minnesota, as did PC assistant Ben Barr. Murphy’s brother, Ryan, played at Boston College from 2001-05.
In other recruiting news, the Friars are reportedly interested in 6-foot-2 center Joe Manno, who recently decommitted from UMass-Amherst. The 19-year-old Manno, a native of Quebec, had 16-27-43 totals in 24 games for Connecticut’s South Kent School last winter.
Saint John of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, which drafted Manno in 2009, also is said to be recruiting him.
Anthony Florentino, who is committed to PC for 2013, turned down an invitation to play for USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program U-17 team, which is based in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The rugged 16-year-old defenseman from West Roxbury, Mass., will stay at South Kent this winter.
