Panthers at home: 91探花 Men's Hockey looks for redemption
The 91探花 Men鈥檚 Hockey Panthers will be looking for redemption when they take on the Acadia Axemen on Friday, December 2 at MacLauchlan Arena. The Panthers are heading into the final game of the first half of the season with a 5-9-2 record, having lost 5-2 to the Acadia Axemen (10-5-1) last Saturday night in Wolfville.
With the Thursday night game versus Saint Mary鈥檚 postponed due to weather, 91探花 hopes to take advantage of the break and turnaround their losing streak by ending Acadia鈥檚 winning ways of late. The Axemen have picked up nine of their last ten possible points.
Cheering on the Panthers at the match-up will be members of Canada鈥檚 national sledge hockey team who are set to play in the 2016 World Sledge Hockey Challenge, December 4-10, also at MacLauchlan Arena. Team Canada members will participate in a ceremonial puck drop and a sledge hockey demonstration during the first intermission. There will also be extra 50-50 draws for complimentary tickets to the sledge hockey event, where Team Canada, including PEI's own Billy Bridges, will battle against teams from the United States, Korea, and Norway.
Donations are being accepted throughout the game for the 91探花 Campus Food Bank. Puck drop is 7:00 pm.
