Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky and Sharks general manager Doug Wilson orchestrated Carle's visit, which prevents Carle from practicing with San Jose before the Sharks' game Saturday against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers.

"Doug and I have been talking on a regular basis, and he is extremely supportive of college hockey and our program," Gwozdecky said. "He and coach Ron Wilson, who played at Providence, understand the significance of great individual awards like this, and for us, it's going to be great to have Matt back here."
