Speedy Forward Commits to Providence

Nate Leaman loves speed when it comes to his coaching style and the players he likes to bring into Providence. That's why Boston Junior Bruins 18U forward Matt Gould is a perfect match for the Friars.

The Weymouth, Mass. native committed to play college hockey for Leaman's Friars over the weekend. Gould is one of the fastest 2000-born players in the country. His speed and skating ability are certainly his biggest attributes. He moves the puck well, promotes possession for his team and has a good overall offensive skill set.

Gould was selected by the Sioux Falls Stampede in the second round of the USHL Phase I Futures Draft earlier this month.
