Maria Clinton is a first-year forward on the 69传媒Women's Hockey team and a Bachelor of Arts student from Souris, PEI. Clinton shone over the weekend, scoring two goals and two a assists as the Panthers split a pair of games, losing 8-3 to STU and beating U de M 4-2. 鈥淢arie had a very strong weekend,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淪he led the team in shots on net versus STU with six and had a even +/- in a game we lost 8-3. It was her best game to date in terms of battling for the puck, and she made a great defensive play in the second period to nullify an odd man situation with a strong back-check effort.鈥�

Tyler Scott is a fifth-year forward on the Men鈥檚 Basketball team, and a Bachelor of Arts student from Halifax. The Panthers had two wins over the weekend, beating Cape Breton University 90-81 and St. Francis Xavier University 95-94. Scott averaged 22.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. 鈥淚n Saturday night鈥檚 victory at X, Tyler scored all 19 of his points in the second half,鈥� said coach Tim Kendrick. 鈥淗e hit the game winning shot with one second remaining!

Join Royal Road University graduate students Rebecca Gass and Meghan Miller Cronkite for a screening of the films Letter to a Terrorist and Keep Walking Forward, followed by a presentation and panel discussion with 69传媒staff and faculty, on Tuesday, January 24 at 7:00 pm in Lecture Theatre A, AVC, UPEI. This event is sponsored by the Student Diversity Office at UPEI.

Letter to a Terrorist was produced in response to the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, France, as well as in Lebanon and Turkey, and was shared using social media. It depicts five Muslim youth speaking to the terrorists who committed the attacks, explaining their frustration, hurt, sadness, and hope for peace.

Cultural researcher Meghan Miller Cronkrite recently sat down with Manitoba Muslim activists Nilufer Rahman and Ayat Mneina to reveal their perspectives on recent terrorist attacks carried out by so-called Muslims and the resulting need for solidarity across cultural and religious divisions. Miller Cronkrite has presented her short film titled Keep Walking Forward to local community members and organizations to share these stories and build cultural understanding. Her presentation involves a screening of Keep Walking Forward as well as Nilufer and Ayat鈥檚 short film Letter to a Terrorist, which highlights the current political climate, Islamophobia, and how sharing stories that challenge the misrepresentation of Muslim people can help build community. An important aspect of this presentation is personal reflection and group dialogue, where participants can share their visions for a stronger community.

鈥淚n a world so divided, we need to hold each other's hand and keep walking forward,鈥� said Meghan Miller Cronkrite.

Greg Gould, coach of the 69传媒Women鈥檚 Basketball team, is pleased to announce Lauren Fleming has committed to the Panthers for the 2017鈥�18 season.

Fleming, a 5鈥�11鈥� forward from Sussex, New Brunswick, is the leading rebounder and one of the top scorers for the Sussex Regional High Sonics team, which is one of the top high school teams in the Maritimes. Fleming was also selected this year as a starting forward on New Brunswick鈥檚 U鈥�17 provincial team.

鈥淚 chose 69传媒because it鈥檚 the perfect fit for me,鈥� said Fleming. 鈥淧EI has such a great feel to it, Charlottetown is a beautiful city, and the people are very friendly. 69传媒has a beautiful campus, small class sizes, and a great program that I am interested in to start my career.  I鈥檓 looking forward to working towards my degree at UPEI. I have played against a few of the current Panthers during my high school career and respect their skills and intensity. The youth and talent that 69传媒has right now are building towards something special, and I can鈥檛 wait to be a part of it!鈥�

鈥淟auren will be a great fit for our team as she is a multi-skilled player who suits our style of play,鈥� said Gould. 鈥淪he rebounds well, attacks the basket, and is a good mid-range shooter. Lauren also defends her position extremely well. She comes from a winning program, and she will bring that winning intensity to our program. I feel Lauren will continue to improve and develop as a player. I look forward to working with her to help her achieve her goals on and off the court.鈥�

Fleming will study in UPEI鈥檚 Bachelor of Kinesiology program.

We are on the home stretch of regular season play and are focused on trying to make the play-offs.鈥�

Saturday, the 69传媒Women鈥檚 Hockey team plays at 1:30 pm against Universit茅 de Moncton. 鈥淪aturday we finish up our back-to-back games against U de M,鈥� said coach Bruce Ferguson.

鈥淟ast game we were able to kill off a 5-on-3 opportunity early and score one of our own on the power play. All our games this year against U de M have been very close and have come down to a goal either a late in the third period goal or in overtime. Moncton will be ready, and it will be important for us to match their speed and intensity right from the start.鈥�

Every week, 69传媒Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to swimmers Stephanie Hatayama and Pieter VanLeeuwen, the 69传媒Panther Subway Athletes of the week for January 16-22!

Stephanie Hatayama is a third-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student at UPEI鈥檚 Atlantic Veterinary College and a member of the 69传媒swim team. At this weekend鈥檚 Acadia Invitational Swim Meet, she claimed an impressive 鈥渟print double,鈥� winning the women鈥檚 50-metre and 100-metre freestyle events.

Pieter VanLeeuwen is a first-year student in UPEI鈥檚 School of Sustainable Design Engineering and a member of the 69传媒swim team. VanLeeuwen set a new 69传媒record in the men's 100-metre breaststroke with a time of 1:13.03. He also placed second in the men鈥檚 400-metre freestyle and third in the 200-metre freestyle.

鈥淧ieter is a very well rounded and talented athlete,鈥� said Theriault. 鈥淗e can swim and be competitive in a multitude of events from sprints right up to distance events. He is a valuable member to our squad.鈥�

鈥淪tephanie and Pieter are strong swimmers that embrace hard work and have shown consistency all season,鈥� said head coach Tom Ponting. 鈥淏oth of them meet the hard sets and tough demands put on them with a grin.

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�

Both of UPEI鈥檚 basketball teams have a two-game home stand this weekend in the 69传媒Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

Friday night, the Panther women host Acadia University at 6:00 pm. The men take the court at 8:00 pm. On Saturday night, the women play Saint Mary鈥檚 at 6:00 pm. The men play at 8:00 pm.

鈥淭he team is excited to be playing a pair of home games after a weekend off,鈥� said 69传媒Women鈥檚 coach Greg Gould. 鈥淎cadia is an up-tempo team who press and play a lot of zone defense. Saint Mary鈥檚 is a great defensive team that is very disciplined on offence and are very good three-point shooters. We will need to defend and rebound well to be successful against both teams.鈥�

鈥淲e have a huge weekend in front of us,鈥� said 69传媒Men鈥檚 coach Tim Kendrick. 鈥淎cadia sits four points up on us, so a win for us would vault us into a tie for the final play-off spot. SMU handed us a beating at their place in November, so we are looking to bounce back in a big way. We are going to have to be at our best if we hope to take points from either of these two strong teams!鈥�
