Panthers at Home, October 27â29
With so many this weekend, itâs up to the 69´ŤĂ˝Womenâs and Menâs Hockey teams to defend the home turf. Here are your Panther home games for the weekend of October 27â29.
69´ŤĂ˝Menâs 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 Maryâs University. The men took a tough 8â2 loss to SMU just a week earlier.
âWe 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,â said coach Forbes MacPherson. âWe have had a good week of practice, and we are still focusing on the process, looking to get better.â
Saturday at 2:00 pm, 69´ŤĂ˝Womenâs Hockey gets another shot at Mount Allison, after an exciting 4â3 win over the Mounties last weekend. Coach Bruce Donaldson expects another close game, with Mount A hungry for revenge.
âOur team needs to continue to develop an identity and build towards playing a full sixty minutes of hockey,â he said. âWe need to be more engaged at both ends of the rink, let each other do their jobs, and believe in the systems weâre putting in place. Last Sundayâs game was very tight. Mount A will be looking to gain back the two points. This is an important game for both teams.â
The men hit the ice again Saturday at 7:00 pm, this time with a rematch against Acadia University. The Panthers dropped a game 6â0 to the Axemen just last week. MacPherson believes his young team is up for the challenge.
