69传媒Women鈥檚 Hockey hosts Dalhousie University Friday evening at 7:00 pm in MacLauchlan Arena.

鈥淒al is the only team we have not played against this year, and they are averaging a goal a game better then we are,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e a great leader in their captain Lisa MacLean. If we are going to be successful, we need to limit her and her teammates鈥� scoring opportunities. We need to compete for a full 60 minutes, do a much better job in defending in our zone, and be a lot more willing to block shots, especially on the penalty kill.鈥�

Charles Waddell and Kyle Robertson say the Panthers will hit the road for Fredericton first thing Saturday morning to play University of New Brunswick in Fredericton at 2:30 pm.

鈥淲e鈥檝e spent the last two weeks working hard on our defensive structure and organization,鈥� said Waddell. 鈥淚f we can identify when to press, when to shift, and stop UNB's first-phase attack, I鈥檓 very optimistic of our chances.鈥�

If the Panthers win Saturday, they鈥檒l host the Nova Scotia champions the following weekend for the Maritime Championship. The winner of that game is invited to the Canadian University Championship in Guelph, Ontario.

The Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 4-2-0, scoring 245 points and only conceding 119. Mark Lloyd led the charge on offence with 59 points; James Coyle led the team in tries, averaging an impressive one try per game.

Waddell also highlights the regular-season efforts ofBen Whalen, Ben Fradsham, Aidan Smith, and Ryan Cheverie, who all finished the season with three tries a piece. Alex 鈥淢eatball鈥� Hall chipped in a further 21 points.

Best of luck in Fredericton! Go Panthers Go!

Several writers will read from their memoirs鈥攁bout growing up in a boarding house in downtown Charlottetown, of witnessing decades of transformations in an eastern PEI rural community, of coming of age on a Saskatchewan farm amidst the richness of the Prairie landscape, of being the parent of a transgendered child, and of dealing with physical disabilities and corrective surgery.

Fiction writers and poets will give us glimpses of a passionate affair between a puritanical man and a sensual woman; a friendship between a young prince and a stable boy in a medieval kingdom; the challenges of gender identity, sexuality, and amorous relationships in the 21^st century; the blessings and tribulations of childhood and parenting; the vortex of substance abuse and rehabilitation; the spectrum of longings, sorrows, revelations, and joys that rainbows our lives.
