| P-Bruins journal: McKelvie's hockey career is up in the air »
By MARK DIVVER PROVIDENCE -- With Zach Hamill questionable for the weekend, former Providence College star Jon Rheault is joining the P-Bruins on a tryout. Hamill suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Tuesday and might not be available for this weekend's three road games in Syracuse, Lowell and Worcester, coach Rob Murray said Thursday shortly before the team left by bus for Syracuse. Rheault will meet the Bruins in Syracuse. A 5'11'' 200-pound center, he is leading the ECHL's Ontario (Calif.) Reign in scoring with a 9-6-15 line in 13 games. He is a plus-5 and has 12 penalty minutes. Rheault, 23, is "fast and has good skill,'' Murray said. He's "another guy who can maybe spark a little offense,'' he said. Murray coached Rheault on a team in the Bridgewater, Mass., summer league a few years ago that also included current pros Colin McDonald, Reid Cashman, Mike Hoffman, Dan Ellis and Brian Boyle. Rheault played at PC from 2004 to 2008, leading the Friars in scoring in his final two years. He is tied for 42nd on PC's all-time scoring list with 56-49-105 totals in 142 games. He played 24 games for Manchester of the AHL last season with 2-3-5 totals. ***** Goalie Matt Dalton has been sent to Reading of the ECHL to get more playing time. Kevin Regan, who started the year in Reading, will be Dany Sabourin's backup. Sabourin will continue to play the bulk of the games. "(Management in Boston) wants (Dalton and Regan) to get as much playing time as possible,'' Murray said.
