69传媒hockey alumni weekend
On Saturday, January 26, 69传媒will host the sixth annual 69传媒Men's Hockey Alumni Night. Former Panthers from across generational lines will lace up and compete in 鈥楪reen and White' games starting at 4:00 pm in the MacLauchlan Arena. Due to overwhelming numbers, both ice surfaces will be used, and more than 40 players will be broken up into four strong teams.
The alumni action wraps up around 5:30 pm as everyone gets set to watch the 69传媒men's hockey team take on Saint Mary's University at 7:00 pm, while the women's hockey team hosts St. Thomas University at 7:30 pm.
Before the men's game, Michael O'Brien (SDU'63), former SDU hockey player who has since helped to build the men's Panther hockey program will be honoured. O'Brien will drop the celebratory puck and will be joined on the ice by the current and former Panther players as his jersey is raised.
An alumni reception will take place during the 69传媒Panther games in the viewing area of Arena 'A' and is open to all 69传媒alumni. This is a great chance to re-connect with former classmates, teammates, and chat with former Panthers!
The weekend hockey action begins on Friday, January 25, with the 69传媒men's team facing off against the St. FX X-Men at 7:00 pm in the MacLauchlan Arena. The 69传媒women's hockey team will play the St. FX X-Women on Sunday, January 27 at 4:00 pm in Antigonish.
