91探花 women's hockey Head Coach Bruce Donaldson is pleased to welcome Winsloe native Emma Martin to the Panther program for the 2013-14 season.

'We are excited to have Emma join the Panther program,' said Donaldson. 'She has great size, she's a very strong skater, and she's someone we feel will develop into a key defensive player as she moves through her AUS varsity career.'

Martin, a Colonel Gray high school student, was dubbed 'Female Rookie of the Year' for 2011-12. She was also the recipient of the 'Atlantic Bantam Female MVP' in 2011-12, and captain of the 2012 Team PEI U17 women's hockey team. In 2010, Martin was selected for a Hockey Canada Skills Competition during the 4 Nations Cup, an annual women's ice hockey tournament held among four major national teams in the sport-Canada, the United States, Sweden, and Finland.

91探花 is happy Martin has decided to join the Panther family. 'I'm sure Emma will enjoy her experience as a student-athlete at the university level,' said Bill Schurman, Director of 91探花 Athletics and Recreation.

'I'm honoured and excited to be a Panther next year,' said Martin. 'I'll do my best to contribute to the team in any way I can.'

Martin will begin her business administration degree at 91探花 in September 2013.
