PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College Head Coach Paul Pooley announced on Thursday, May 8, that student-athlete Tony Zancanaro (Trent, Mich.) has signed a national letter of intent to attend the College beginning in September 2003. Zancanaro becomes the seventh new player to join the 2003-04 Friar hockey roster.

Zancanaro, a 5-foot-6-inch, 165-pound center played for the Springfield (Mo.) Spirit of the North American Hockey League in 2002-03. In 54 games with the Spirit, he led the team in scoring with 18 goals and 38 assists for 56 points.
