PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College hockey coach Paul Pooley announced on Wednesday, November 27 that six student athletes each have signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Providence College, beginning in 2003-04. The six players include forwards Colin McDonald (Wethersfield, Conn.), Chase Watson (Media, Pa.), Garett Cameron (Grandora, Sask.), Bill McCreary (Howell, Mich.) and Kevin Brooks (Stow, Mass.) and defenseman Dinos Stamoulis (Carle Place, N.Y.).

Through 13 games this season with the Coyotes, McDonald, who is the team captain, leads the team in scoring with 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists). In addition, he ranks third in the EJHL in scoring. McDonald was selected to play in the 2002 Top Prospects' Tournament in Detroit, Mich. McDonald is the son of Gerry and Suzanne McDonald.

Watson has played in 19 games in the 2002-03 season and has seven goals and 11 assists (18 points), which ranks him 12th in the USHL in scoring. Watson, whose father Jim played in the NHL for the Philadelphia Flyers, was selected to the USHL All-Star game in 2001-02.
Cameron, a 5-foot-9, 175 pound left wing plays for the Melfort Mustangs of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Through 28 games this season, Cameron leads the SJHL in goals scored (31), points (54), power play goals (14), short handed goals (4) and game winning goals (5). In addition, he led the Mustangs in scoring in 2001-02 and was selected to play in the SJHL All-Star game the past two seasons. Cameron is the son of Gary and Carol Cameron.

McCreary has played in 14 games this season and has 18 points (six goals, 12 assists), despite missing 11 games because of an injury. McCreary, who is the assistant captain for the Tornado, was selected to the 2002 Top Prospects' Tournament. He was the second leading scorer for the Tornado last season and was named to the NAHL All-Rookie Team in 2001-02. McCreary is the son of William and Marianne McCreary.
Brooks, a 5-foot-11 left wing, is a team captain for the Cedar Rapids Roughriders of USHL. He has recorded six goals and six assists through 20 games this season.

Stamoulis, a 6-foot defenseman, plays for the Texas Tornado of the NAHL along with McCreary. He has scored 23 points (five goals, 18 assists) in 24 games this season. He ranks 13th in the NAHL in scoring and is third among defensemen in scoring. He was selected to participate in the 2002 Top Prospects' Tournament. He is the son of George and Carolyn Stamoulis.
"With the loss of a large senior class, this year's recruiting class is very important to the continuing development of our program, Pooley said. "All six of the players in the incoming class will have an immediate impact next year. The mixture of size, skill, work ethic and leadership are key ingredients to the program's success. They all are dedicated to becoming the best players they can become and moving our program to the championship level."
