PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The annual Providence College Men's Hockey Vision Cup presented by QML, Inc. was held on Monday, Aug. 25 at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford, R.I.
The fundraising event welcomed Friar supporters, sponsors, fans, family and friends of Providence College Athletics and the Friars men's hockey program for an exciting day on the course. The event raised $100,000 and an additional $50,000 for revenue sharing. All proceeds from the event will help fuel the men's ice hockey program and are critical in this new revenue-sharing landscape.
Supporters enjoyed an 18-hole round of golf, exclusive gear and the chance to connect with the men's ice hockey coaching staff and current student-athletes. Lunch was sponsored by ServPro, led by Joe Tutsch, while the Barry Family,
Hope Barry '25 and Jon Barry '19, hosted the dinner in continued support of Friar hockey. The speaking program, which featured insights from student-athletes, was sponsored by Amica.
"We're deeply thankful to Dennis Smith '74 and Mike Huber '78 of QML, Inc., for serving as our title sponsor and helping make the Men's Ice Hockey Vision Cup a success," Athletic Director
