SEASON PREVIEW: Women’s Hockey Panthers look to pick up where they left off as one of the country’s best
The last time we saw the UPEI’s women’s hockey team, they were among the best teams in the country getting ready to battle for a national medal following a thrilling and emotional playoff run.
While a lot has changed since then, including a pandemic and an extensive roster turnover, one thing remains the same: their expectation for winning.
Head coach Bruce Donaldson believes his team has what it takes to reach that level again when fans eagerly waited each Tuesday to see where the Panthers placed in U SPORTS’ top-10 power rankings.
