Former Union player Trevor Mingoia is giving Division I hockey another shot.
The forward, who left Union in October, has announced a commitment to Providence for next season. He'll get to play for former Dutchmen head coach Nate Leaman, who recruited Mingoia to Union prior to taking the lead gig at Providence after the 2010-2011 season.
Mingoia, 21, had three goals and three assists in 18 games as a freshman a year ago, but an injury reportedly kept him out of action prior to his departure last fall.
He latched on with the Tri-City Storm of the U.S Hockey League and currently ranks fifth on the team with 35 points (9 g, 26 a) in 39 games.
"[Mingoia] is a great skater and he plays fast," Storm head coach Josh Hauge recently told me. "I think he's learning to play a little tougher and a little harder than he did in college hockey. He'll be more successful the second time."
Mingoia has three years of eligibility remaining.
