Munichiello, 26, will get his first look at the ECHL with the Mariners. The Weymouth, MA native attended nearby Babson College from 2015-19, serving as captain in his senior year. He played two seasons in the Federal Prospects Hockey League for the Elmira Enforcers, Delaware Thunder, and Port Huron Prowlers. He made the jump to the SPHL last season, playing 19 games with the Huntsville Havoc.

After playing one game for the Mariners last season, he's spent the bulk of 2022-23 in Maine, skating in 26 games and registering 22 points (14 goals, 8 assists). Voyer was the ECHL "Player of the Week" for the week of December 26th. The Sherbrooke, QC native has played four games in Providence this season, and 67 in his career, in addition to 43 ECHL games between the Mariners and Jacksonville
Shea, 25, will get his second stint in the AHL, on loan to the P-Bruins. The Marshfield, MA native got into four games with the Springfield Thunderbirds last season and registered a pair of assists. He currently is the Mariners goals leader, with 17, and is second on the team in points, with 40. Shea is in his second pro season, after finishing at the University of Maine in 2020.
