UPEI Men’s Hockey Panthers recruit former Erie Otter Noah Sedore
The UPEI Men’s Hockey Panthers have secured a commitment from Noah Sedore, a 21-year-old forward from Newmarket, Ontario, for the 2023–24 season.
When the lights turn bright and the pressure intensifies, certain players have the ability to step up their game. Sedore has shown the potential to do that throughout his playing career.
In 2019, then 16-year-old Sedore, who was playing for the Ridley College Tigers, showed off that flair in the Midwest Prep Hockey League (MPHL) championship game, scoring the game-winning goal against Stanstead College.
