The Bianculli name carries a lot of history within the hockey program at Milton High School. When Joe Bianculli graduated in 1991, he did so as the school’s all-time leading scorer. He was surpassed by his brother Mike in 1993. Then along came Matt Bianculli, who topped them all with 176 career points.

A 1995 graduate, Matt is still the school’s career scoring leader.

“There were a lot of great moments,’’ he said. “Obviously breaking the scoring record that was held by my brother was one of them. I remember it was my senior year and the Saint Anselm coach was there. The game was played at Babson.’’

Bianculli, a team captain of the hockey and baseball teams as a senior at Milton, was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame in 2009.

“It was a tremendous honor,’’ said Bianculli. “I looked up to many of those athletes who were inducted. I almost left Milton High a few times for hockey purposes, but I was loyal to the town and I always felt a connection with the high school. I was so glad I stayed and making it to the Hall of Fame only enhanced that.’’

At Saint Anselm, Bianculli racked up 98 career points (42 goals, 56 assists) before graduating in 1999. He skated alongside his older brother, Mike (‘97), who once scored five goals and added two assists in a 13-2 win over Wesleyan.

Mike (53 goals, 71 assists) is 10th in program history with 124 career points. Matt, team MVP his senior year, is 21st.

These days, Matt Bianculli is an account director for ServiceNow, a software IT company. He and his wife, Katelyn, whom he met at Saint Anselm, reside in Walpole with their three children, Matt, 11; Emma, 9; and Sara, 8. While Emma and Sara are entrenched in gymnastics, Matt coaches his son’s youth hockey team, the Lovell Knights. Last year the squad played a game at Saint Anselm and Bianculli was able to show his players the varsity locker room.

“They have a great facility up there and the kids really enjoyed it,’’ said Bianculli, who tries to transfer his hockey knowledge to the youth level.

“We try to build character with these kids, and it’s very important to show them how to be part of a team and to work for a common goal and to build camaraderie,’’ he said.
