"Friar Hockey has a rich history, and Alumni Weekend is a special opportunity to bring our hockey family together," said Steve Napolillo, Athletic Director of Providence College. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate two incredible milestones—the 50th Anniversary of our Women's Hockey Program and the 10th Anniversary of our Men's National Championship team. It's a chance to honor the legacy of these programs, reconnect with our alumni, and inspire the next generation of Friars. We look forward to seeing everyone on February 22nd for this celebration!" 
 
"We are excited to welcome back our alumni and to recognize the 10-year anniversary of our national championship team," Men's Hockey Head Coach Nate Leaman said. "That team was comprised of a special group of players that overcame a lot of adversity in reaching the pinnacle of our sport. It was truly a remarkable season that I will never forget. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Feb. 22."
 
"We are thrilled to celebrate 50 years of Friar Women's Hockey and honor the legacy built by our alumni," said Matt Kelly, Head Coach of the Women's Ice Hockey Team. "This program's success is a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work of everyone who has been a part of it.
