Cameron Hughes: Providence’s diamond in the rough

Cameron Hughes has been quite the find for the Providence Bruins.

A 2015 sixth-round pick out of the University of Wisconsin, the 22-year old has 13 goals and 15 assists for 28 points along with a plus-10 rating in 50 games.

But what makes Hughes so special is his all-around two-way playmaking abilities. Hughes showcases his defensive prowess on a nightly basis through blocked shots and heavy back checks. Those traits compliment his gifted offensive skillset as the Edmonton native is finding his rhythm in his first full season of professional hockey.

“I feel good,” Hughes said on his first full season in Providence.
