As the Boston Bruins' hopefuls gear up for the 2023 Prospects Challenge, John Beecher stands out as a rising star. Last season, he impressed with nine goals and 14 assists in 61 games for the Providence Bruins, showcasing his growth as a player.
Ryan Mougenel, the head coach of Boston's AHL affiliate, praised Beecher's development, noting his skating, puck control, and willingness to play a physical game.
Despite playing center primarily, Beecher's versatility was evident as he adapted to the left wing when needed. With the retirements of Bergeron and Krejci, Beecher sees a significant opportunity to make his mark in the upcoming season.
