Bruce Donaldson, coach of the 69传媒Women鈥檚 Hockey team, announced today Tiah Scichilone has committed to the Panthers. Scichilone is a forward from Saint John, New Brunswick, where she made her mark on the Rothesay Netherwood School varsity girls team.

鈥淭iah has Island roots, as her grandparents are from PEI,鈥� said Donaldson. 鈥淭iah brings a great hockey IQ to the game, and while she is small in stature, she plays way bigger than she actually is. She has an amazing work ethic. She鈥檚 a true team player and loves to compete.鈥�

Scichilone has an impressive track record, having served as assistant captain for Team New Brunswick at the 2019 Canada Winter Games. She was named to Team New Brunswick U18 in 2017鈥�2018 and the U15/16 team from 2013 to 2016.

鈥淚t means the world to me to play for the 69传媒Panthers,鈥� said Scichilone. 鈥淚 have close family in PEI and I feel honoured to play for such a well respected coach and hockey team. It always just felt like a great fit for me. My grandmother, Cheryl Callaghan, is really excited to watch me play on home ice. She keeps telling me how proud my grandfather would have been to see me play in a Panthers jersey.鈥�

Scichilone has been accepted into 69传媒Faculty of Science.

Go Panthers Go!
