Wednesday, January 25 is a big night for the 69传媒Men鈥檚 Hockey team. The Panthers take on Universit茅 de Moncton at 7 pm in MacLauchlan Arena and participate in the #PanthersBeKind challenge as part of Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Day. As one big act of kindness, the Panthers have invited members of Prince Edward Island鈥檚 growing Chinese population to the game.

The Panthers, AUS, and Bell to support Bell Let鈥檚 Talk. Inspired by the AUS鈥檚 theme of 鈥淏e Kind,鈥� UPEI鈥檚 Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Ambassadors, Jerika Gimpel and Olivia Murphy, began the #PanthersBeKind challenge. The challenge is simple: surprise someone in your community with a small act of kindness. Capture it on video, post it on social media, and challenge two others to do the same!

An estimated 350 members of the Chinese community in PEI are expected to Wednesday鈥檚 game, where there will be a showcase of their culture. After the game, there will be a family skate and opportunities to meet members of the team.

鈥淎nother big game with play-off implications,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淲ith only six games remaining and four on the road, we have to take care of home ice and continue to build towards a playoff position. We are also excited to participate in Bell Let's Talk. Many Canadians are affected by mental illness during their life. This initiative helps support overcoming the stigma and get people talking.鈥�

鈥淥ur goal is to develop stronger connections with our ever expanding PEI populations and community,鈥� said Chris Huggan, director of 69传媒Athletics and Recreation. 鈥淏y reaching out and being kind, we hope to make the PEI Chinese community more aware of, feel more welcome at, and ultimately become more connected with both 69传媒and 69传媒Athletics and Recreation.鈥�
