Panthers at Home, January 5鈥6

秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 Hockey defend home ice
| Athletics

Both 秀色短视频 hockey teams are returning from the holiday break with new energy and feeling optimistic about the second half of the season. The 秀色短视频 men鈥檚 squad kicks off the weekend Friday evening at 7:00 pm with a game at home against St. Francis Xavier University. The game will be broadcast on Bell Aliant TV 1.

鈥淚t is important for us to get off to a good start in the second half,鈥 said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淲e are in a battle for a play-off position, and there are only 12 games remaining in the regular season. We will need to be playing the right way to secure a play-off spot and to be a threat in the play-offs.鈥

The women get their shot at St. FX the next day at 3:00 pm.

鈥淭hey have a very strong program with great balance upfront and a mobile defence core,鈥 said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淲e need to stay out of the penalty box, take away their time and space, and control the boards if we want to have success. They typically take lots of shots so we need to keep them to the outside so we can defend well. Offensively, we need to take advantage of the opportunities presented to us. They don鈥檛 make many mistakes, so it鈥檚 important to capitalize on them when they happen.鈥

The men host the Dalhousie Tigers Saturday at 7:00 pm.
