Dans Locmelis, a 21-year-old Latvian-born forward and Bruins' fourth-round pick in 2022, is impressing in the AHL with skill and adaptability. After signing an entry-level contract in March, he quickly adjusted to professional level hockey, accumulating notable stats in his first six games. Coach Ryan Mougenel expresses confidence in Locmelis' potential, highlighting his impressive performance since transitioning from college to the AHL. The Bruins see him as a valuable addition to their prospect pipeline, particularly due to his well-rounded playing style and impressive chemistry with teammates.
"I've been having a lot of fun. Everything came [together] so quick. I didn't have time to think about anything, so I was just coming here, playing my hockey and just enjoying everything."
"He's hungry. He checks a lot of the boxes for us as a Bruin."
"Locmelis' offensive instincts and poise with the puck have yielded immediate (and largely unexpected) returns in Providence so far."
"After turning pro, Locmelis went right from Western Massachusetts to Providence, joining the P-Bruins just ahead of the team's Calder Cup run."
