Most recently, he led the Big Red in scoring with 22 points (five goals, 17 assists) in 30 games during his senior season.

In 2013, Bardreau represented the United States at the World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia, helping lead the team to a gold medal while playing alongside Shayne Gostisbehere.
