ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ hockey team kick-starts 2013 with home games, January 4–5
On Friday, January 4, the ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ men's hockey team takes on Dalhousie University at 7:00 pm at the MacLauchlan Arena. The special night-dubbed 'Drew Power Night'-will include a moment of silence prior to the game to honour the former Panther who passed away recently and 'DP14' T-shirts will be on sale for $20 with all proceeds going to the Power family. The men's hockey team will also be recognizing Power with a display located outside their dressing room.
On Saturday night, January 5, the ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ men's team takes to the ice again as they host Acadia University at 7:00 pm at the MacLauchlan Arena. As a bonus, local band Vintage will perform in the CARI complex lobby from 6:30-7:10 pm and again between 7:30-8:10 pm. This initiative is supported by the Registrar's Office, Student Affairs, and ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ Athletics & Recreation. A cash bar will be located in the lobby for ticket holders aged 19 and older.
'A Panther hockey doubleheader is a great way for fans to see the men's and women's hockey teams in action,' said Ron Annear, director of ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ Athletics & Recreation. 'We invite all ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ students, staff, faculty, and community members to join us this weekend to kick-start the second half of the season where we'll begin the drive to the AUS Championship.'
Tickets can be purchased at the box office one hour before game time.
