The Bruins have signed centers Trent Whitfield and Drew Larman and defensemen Rob Kwiet and Zach McKelvie to one-year contracts, according to an announcement by the Providence Bruins

Whitfield, 32, was a 1996 draft pick of the Bruins and has appeared in the NHL with St. Louis, Washington and the New York Rangers.

Larman, 24, is entering his fifth season and has spent most of his career with the Rochester Americans. He did see NHL action for Florida from 2006 to 2008, scoring two goals and an assist.

The 20-year-old Kwiet played for the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL last season, and participated in the Bruins development camp this month.

McKelvie, 24, turns pro following four college seasons with Army, where he won the prestigious Army Athletic Association Award, an honor awarded to the male and female cadet who displays the "most valuable service to intercollegiate athletics during a career as a cadet."
