UPEI Athletics and Recreation is excited to announce the 2019 Mulligan Cup schedule and invites the community to come out and enjoy “the beautiful game”, August 30 to September 1, at the UPEI Turf Field.

The Mulligan Cup provides an excellent opportunity for coaches to make final roster decisions. This eighth annual cup honours Vince Mulligan, the varsity UPEI soccer and hockey coach throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The Cup has four participating schools this year: Université de Moncton, Mount Allison University, Holland College, and the University of Prince Edward Island.
