Boston Bruins prospect Dans Locmelis has left the Providence Bruins to join Team Latvia for the World Championships in Sweden and Denmark, which begin on May 9.
Locmelis signed a three-year entry-level contract with Boston on April 1, 2025, and immediately made an impact with Providence by contributing three goals and nine assists in six games. The 21-year-old finished his sophomore season with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and turned pro.
Locmelis was a fourth-round pick of the Bruins in the 2022 NHL Draft. In 70 games with UMass, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound center posted 47 points over two seasons. Locmelis has played in three U20 World Junior Championships for the Latvian National Team and has registered ten points in 16 total games.
Locmelis played in the first round of the AHL Playoffs with Providence and recorded an assist. In the second round, Locmelis went pointless in one game before leaving the team. Providence is currently down two games to none in their best-of-five series with Charlotte.
