Panthers at Home, October 27鈥�29
With so many this weekend, it鈥檚 up to the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 and Men鈥檚 Hockey teams to defend the home turf. Here are your Panther home games for the weekend of October 27鈥�29.
17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Hockey is seeking redemption at home after a pair of losses on the road. The action begins Friday at 7:00 pm in MacLauchlan Arena when the Panthers take on Saint Mary鈥檚 University. The men took a tough 8鈥�2 loss to SMU just a week earlier.
鈥淲e are looking forward to this weekend to get back on track, and back to playing the way we need to play in order to win in this league,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淲e have had a good week of practice, and we are still focusing on the process, looking to get better.鈥�
Saturday at 2:00 pm, 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Hockey gets another shot at Mount Allison, after an exciting 4鈥�3 win over the Mounties last weekend. Coach Bruce Donaldson expects another close game, with Mount A hungry for revenge.
鈥淥ur team needs to continue to develop an identity and build towards playing a full sixty minutes of hockey,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e need to be more engaged at both ends of the rink, let each other do their jobs, and believe in the systems we鈥檙e putting in place. Last Sunday鈥檚 game was very tight. Mount A will be looking to gain back the two points. This is an important game for both teams.鈥�
The men hit the ice again Saturday at 7:00 pm, this time with a rematch against Acadia University. The Panthers dropped a game 6鈥�0 to the Axemen just last week. MacPherson believes his young team is up for the challenge.
