Hockey fans in Providence have reason to cheer as the Providence Bruins — the American Hockey League affiliate of the Boston Bruins — have signed forward Josh Bloom to a one-year, two-way AHL contract for the upcoming 2026–27 campaign.

The signing was announced by the Providence Bruins organization and adds another promising piece to the P-Bruins roster as the team prepares for the new season. Two-way contracts of this kind allow players to move between the AHL and NHL levels, reflecting the organization’s confidence in Bloom’s ability to compete and develop at the professional level.

The Providence Bruins have long served as a vital pipeline for Boston Bruins talent, and signings like this one keep the excitement building at the Amica Mutual Pavilion, where P-Bruins fans have consistently shown up in strong numbers to support their team.

With the new season on the horizon, the addition of Bloom gives Providence hockey supporters another player to watch as the organization continues to develop the next generation of NHL-caliber talent right here in the capital city.
