Remarkably, he opted out of his college eligibility and joined the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League (AHL) to further hone his skills. Despite, making sporadic appearances for the Bruins through the 2020-21 season, Frederic cemented his presence in the 2021-22 season where he participated in 60 games. Notably, Frederic thrived while playing alongside Charlie Coyle and Craig Smit on a line affectionately dubbed the “11-12-13 line,” named after their respective jersey numbers. Ferderic accumulated 8 goals and 10 assists, totalling 18 points in his inaugural full-length NHL season. However, his performance waned during the Stanley Cup playoffs, failing to score any points and being benched for three games as the Bruins succumbed to a seven-game defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round.
