Donovan was previously committed to the University of Denver. It was reported during the summer that he was no longer committed to the NCHC school.

The Connecticut native is set to play his second season with the Sea Dogs. In 63 games with the club last season, Donovan posted 25 goals and 28 assists. He added a goal and an assist in four playoff games.

Providence College is becoming a popular landing spot for Sea Dogs alumni. The Hockey East school had Kale McCallum on its roster last season and this year will have Everett Baldwin.
