About the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey Program

The 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey program can trace its roots back to 1975. The team operated as a club until it joined Atlantic University Sport in 2002. In 2004, the program requested and was granted a leave of absence for one year and subsequently returned as a full varsity program in 2005. Over the past twelve years, the program has grown, finding success in 2012 when the Panthers won the AUS championship. The program supports student-athletes from across Canada and around the world, and is proud to include German Olympic national player Anja Weisser, International University Sport Federation (FISU) Team Canada member Keirstin Visser, and South Korean Olympic national player Ye Eun Park among its alumni. In 2013, the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey program was Sport PEI鈥檚 Team of the Year. 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey sits on a solid foundation and has a bright future moving toward 2019.

About the City of Charlottetown鈥檚 SCORE Program

The City of Charlottetown is the proud sport capital of Prince Edward Island and has had tremendous ongoing success in hosting numerous sport events as a result of a shared vision to be a premiere sport tourism destination, dedicated leadership, and strategic local and national partnerships. In 2005, the City launched its national award-winning SCORE initiative to attract and assist in the hosting of sport events in Charlottetown that offer a pronounced opportunity for economic, tourism, and community growth. Charlottetown garners an average of $43M of the province of Prince Edward Island鈥檚 annual $68M sport tourism economic impact through the attraction of new, one-off events, as well as the existing inventory of signature annual events. Equally important is the impact SCORE-attracted events have on the long-term development of sport within the community.

Students from 秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Business took second place at the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC) held January 18鈥�20 at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. The ICBC is Canada鈥檚 longest-running undergraduate business case competition, celebrating its 40^th year.

The ICBC features competitions in eight different events, including accounting, business policy (strategy), ethics, debate, finance, human resources, marketing, and management of information systems. After strong showings at the preliminary round in October, two teams from 秀色短视频 earned invitations to compete in the final round in the categories of ethics and business policy.

秀色短视频鈥檚 ethics team competed against teams from University of Alberta, University of Calgary, Concordia University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Wilfrid Laurier University. The team, comprised of Quinton Gorman, a fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration student (marketing specialization) and Zach Geldert, a fourth-year Bachelor of Sociology student with an economics minor and business certificate, placed second.

鈥淚CBC was a great learning experience, and I am happy that we were able to achieve this result,鈥� said Geldert. 鈥淭his competition gave us the chance to put what we have learned in the classroom to use in a very practical way.鈥�

The team had five-and-a-half hours to prepare with no access to internet, but use of textbooks. They had 15 minutes to present their solution to a judging panel of industry professionals, with an additional five minutes to answer questions and defend their recommendations.

鈥淚f you want a big return, you have to be willing take a risk,鈥� said Gorman. 鈥淓ven though preparing and presenting a case in a short amount of time may be daunting, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest experiences that a business student can have. You learn how to approach a business situation and provide a recommendation in a hands-on way. This is something that all students can learn from, and I encourage all those who are interested to get involved in this great program.鈥�

秀色短视频鈥檚 business policy team was made up of Alex Dunne, a fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration student (accounting specialization); Callum Wood, a fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration student (accounting specialization); and, Sydney Gallant, a fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration student (finance specialization). The team had a great showing in an extremely competitive field, but unfortunately didn鈥檛 crack the top three.

鈥淚 am so proud of the work these students did in training and in competition,鈥� said Mary Whitrow, 秀色短视频鈥檚 case competition program coordinator and coach. 鈥淐ongratulations to both teams on their performances!鈥�

鈥淚t is a great achievement to have two teams qualifying again for the final round of such a rigorous competition,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, dean of the Faculty of Business at 秀色短视频. 鈥淕etting to the final shows that you have what it takes to compete against some of the world鈥檚 top students.鈥�

Faculty of Business students will be busy with more case competitions this semester. Alex Dunne, Callum Wood, and Sydney Gallant will compete at the John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition, an international competition in Montreal in mid-February. Zach Geldert will be competing in late February at the Network of International Business Schools Case Competition, an international competition in Guatemala.

Past results at ICBC:

• 2017: first place in marketing; third place in ethics
• 2016: third place in marketing
• 2015: third place in business policy
• 2013: first place in ethics
• 2012: second place in ethics

It鈥檚 a busy weekend at home for the Panthers. The 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey team plays Friday and Saturday night. 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 Basketball host a two-day home stand against Memorial. And Saturday night, show your Panther pride by helping us support the Canadian Cancer Society and Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation with Pink in the Rink and Shoot for the Cure.

Friday night, 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey takes on St. Thomas University at 7:00 pm.

鈥淪TU has had our number all season, and if we were entering the playoffs this weekend, we would be meeting them in the first round, so setting the tone early is important,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淪TU is very patient. They play great defence, so we really need to keep the pressure on them in their end if we want to have success against them.鈥�

Friday鈥檚 game is also a Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Night in support of mental health initiatives. Let鈥檚 keep the conversation going.

Saturday鈥檚 action begins at 6:00 pm in the Chi-Wan Young Sport Centre as the women鈥檚 basketball team plays Memorial University.

鈥淲e play two important four-point games against Memorial this weekend,鈥� said coach Greg Gould. 鈥淚f we hope to have any chance of finishing in a first-round bye position at the AUS playoffs, we will need to sweep both games from a tough high-scoring MUN team.鈥�

The game is also part of a special Shoot for the Cure/Pink in the Rink night with 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey. The hockey team plays across the hall in MacLauchlan Arena at 7:00 pm where they host Mount Allison University.

鈥淲hile Mount A will not be making the playoffs this year, they work very hard and have had a number of very close games,鈥� said coach Donaldson. 鈥淭heir goaltending is very solid. We need to match their intensity and work well as a team in order to have success. Saturday evening we will be paying tribute to our four graduating players: Megan Sullivan, Lindsay Johnston, Madison Clarke, and team captain Emma Martin.鈥�

Back in the gym, 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Basketball hosts MUN at 8:00 pm.

鈥淭here are many areas of the game that we are hoping to improve upon in preparation for this weekend鈥檚 match-up against the Seahawks,鈥� said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淪pecifically we want to focus on our perimetre defence and keeping people out of the key. Offensively, we will need to continue to focus on ball movement and player movement to ensure that we are getting a good shot each time down the floor.鈥�

Sunday, 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 Basketball see rematches against Memorial. The women鈥檚 game starts at 1:00 pm. The men tip off at 3:00 pm. Between games, Basketball PEI will hold a ceremony to celebrate the recipients of the 2016鈥�2017 PEI Basketball Awards.

Go Panthers Go! 

Every week, 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Jenna Mae Ellsworth and Milorad Sedlarevic, the 秀色短视频 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 22鈥�28!

Jenna Mae Ellsworth is a second-year guard on the 秀色短视频 Women's Basketball team and a Bachelor of Science student from Charlottetown. The Panthers split a pair of games over the weekend against Cape Breton University, winning the first 76鈥�65, losing the second 88鈥�78. In Saturday鈥檚 game, she scored 16 points, shooting 46% from the field and 100% from the free-throw line. She had five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and a blocked shot. On Sunday, she was back with an incredible 21 points, shooting 62% from the field, five-for-five from the free-throw line, and collecting three rebounds, an assist, two steals and a blocked shot. 鈥淛enna Mae had an outstanding weekend on both ends of the court,鈥� said coach Greg Gould. 鈥淗er offence was outstanding, but her defensive presence was even better.鈥�

Milorad Sedlarevic is a fourth-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Basketball team and a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Jesenice, Slovenia. The Panthers picked up their first wins of the weekend with a two-game home stand against Cape Breton University, beating them 71鈥�63 and 77鈥�71. 鈥淢ilorad Sedlarevic is maturing into a complete player offensive player,鈥� said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淥n Saturday night, however, he was given the task of guarding the second leading scorer in the conference and did a fantastic job of holding him to just seven points. Milorad also managed to score 21 points shooting six for eight from the field and eight for nine from the free-throw line.鈥�

And don鈥檛 forget! 秀色短视频 students get into all Panther home games for free. Let鈥檚 fill the stands and make this the best season ever!

Join the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey and Basketball teams this Saturday night, February 3, for a very special evening in support of breast cancer research. In the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre, 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball is hosting its annual Shoot for the Cure game at 6:00 pm. In MacLauchlan Arena, 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey is hosting Pink in the Rink at 7:00 pm. The games are in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society.

The Shoot for the Cure campaign has proven to be overwhelming success since it was launched in the fall of 2007, with over $1.1 million in donations to date. All 47 U SPORTS women鈥檚 basketball schools will once again participate in the program for the seventh year in a row.

鈥淎s an Island, we have the power to combat breast cancer through increasing awareness, educating our children, and raising funds for researchers seeking a cure, therapy resources, and foundations supporting those affected,鈥� said Kiera Rigby of the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball team.

Shoot for the Cure t-Shirts will be available for sale before the game at the 秀色短视频 Bookstore. There will also be a bake sale, raffle, and, for a twist, a 鈥淧uck Toss鈥� during half-time at the men鈥檚 basketball game.

Just across the hall in MacLauchlan Arena, the Panther women鈥檚 hockey team will be holding special events for Pink in the Rink, which will include a 鈥淧ink Ball Roll to Win鈥�, raffle, and ceremonial puck drop by cancer survivor Anne MacArthur.

鈥淚鈥檓 celebrating 15 years as a breast cancer survivor,鈥� said MacArthur, 鈥渁nd when I say celebrating, I mean celebrating every day, because I鈥檓 so happy to be here. I celebrate by being active, staying strong, and doing all the things that I love.鈥�

鈥淚 am so lucky to have been a part of this fundraising campaign,鈥� said Emily March of the women鈥檚 hockey team. 鈥淏reast cancer has affected so many around the world, and I know I speak for my team when I say we have been inspired by the stories and want to help out in any way. Pink in the Rink will be a very special night not only for 秀色短视频 sports, but for raising awareness of this horrible disease.鈥�

Tickets are available at Panther Central. Go Panthers Go!

AVC students Hanna Hone, Colleen Griffin, and Melanie Stuart participated in the 17th annual Intercollegiate Animal Welfare Judging/Assessment Contest at Iowa State University in November 2017.

As a team, the students assessed a group of finisher pigs on the university鈥檚 teaching farm, and as individuals, they evaluated the welfare of contrasting scenarios for each of farmed fish, meat rabbits, and racing greyhounds.

鈥淭he contest was an incredible opportunity to engage and develop our analytical skills in regards to animal welfare assessments,鈥� said the students.

The competition challenged their critical thinking, communication, and public-speaking proficiencies and gave them a chance to interact with other students from across North America who share the same passion for animals and their welfare.

鈥淚t was a challenge for sure and has identified areas where we can improve, but we are proud of the work we accomplished. We walked away with a vastly improved knowledge of animal welfare and current developments in the field as well as amazing experience in developing in-depth opinions on welfare.鈥�

They thanked their supervisor Dr. Michael Cockram, Chair of Animal Welfare at AVC; their student mentor Jolene Vermeulen; and specialist coaches Drs. Jonathan Spears and Larry Hammell, of AVC, and Dr. Jennifer Brown, Prairie Swine Centre, for their guidance and assistance in preparing for the contest. Funding for their trip to Iowa State came from the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at AVC, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare.

The following media release was issued by the PEI BioAlliance:

Organizers of the 8th International Symposium on Aquatic Animal Health have opened the conference and put out a call seeking abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations. The 2018 symposium marks the thirtieth anniversary of the ISAAH, which will be held September 2 鈥� 6, 2018 in Prince Edward Island, Canada.  The ISAAH meets every four years and typically attracts 300鈥�400 fish health professionals from around the world. This will be only the second time the Conference has been hosted in Canada; the inaugural conference took place in Vancouver in 1988.

Aquaculture is the world鈥檚 fastest-growing sector for animal food production. And Atlantic Canadian companies  are  a prime resource in the evolution, growth and research into innovative solutions to challenges facing the global aquaculture industry. There are more than 30 organizations involved in aquaculture research and development throughout Atlantic Canada and several companies and the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island are helping to lead the way.

Delegates attending ISAAH 2018 will be have the opportunity to join other aquatic health professionals from around the world for scientific workshops, business meetings, keynote and research  presentations. The theme of this year鈥檚  symposium is 鈥淚ntegrating Biotechnology in the Advancement of Aquatic Animal Health鈥�.

ISAAH 2018 is being hosted by the Fish Health Section of the American Fisheries Society, the Atlantic Veterinary College, and the Prince Edward Island BioAlliance.

Every week, 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Rachel Colle and Darcy Ashley, the 秀色短视频 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 29鈥揊ebruary 4!

Rachel Colle is a third-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey team and a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Toronto, Ontario. The Panthers won back-to-back games over the weekend, defeating St. Thomas University 2鈥�1 and Mount Allison 4鈥�1. 鈥淩achel had a very strong weekend for us. She scored the shootout winner against STU on Friday night and a goal and assist in our victory over Mount A,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淩achel logged a ton of time in both games, especially during the STU game, playing a regular shift and on both the power play and penalty kill.鈥�

Darcy Ashley is a fourth-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey team and a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Brooklyn, PEI. The Panthers split a pair of games over the weekend, beating Acadia University 6鈥�3 and losing to Saint Mary鈥檚 University 9鈥�1. 鈥淒arcy鈥檚 playing strong hockey for us,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e scored two goals in our Acadia win Friday night.

The International Society for Applied Ethology鈥檚 (ISAE) 2018 International Congress will take place at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC), 秀色短视频, from July 30 to August 3.

The 700-member ISAE is the leading scientific society for the study of the behaviour and welfare of confined or domesticated animals, including companion, farm, zoo, and managed wild animals. This will be only the second time that the congress will be held in Canada and only the fifth time in North America. Registration is now open at

Since the conference is being held at AVC, it will bring together ethological and veterinary research under the theme, 鈥淓thology for health and welfare,鈥� with a specific session on veterinary aspects of ethology and welfare.

鈥淏oth disciplines conduct research to improve animal welfare and have much to gain by increased communication and discussion,鈥� says Dr. Michael Cockram, Chair of Animal Welfare at AVC and chair of the local organizing committee.

The ISAE was formed in 1966 as the Society for Veterinary Ethology when questions were raised about whether the increased productivity of some farming systems restricted the ability of the animals to express their normal behaviour.

Over the last 50 plus years, the ISAE has facilitated a major expansion of diverse research on applied ethology and has contributed to an increased understanding of animal welfare. This research has had a major impact by influencing important changes in livestock production systems and practices to better meet the behavioural and welfare requirements of the animals.

Research on behavioural motivation has increased understanding of the causation of normal and 鈥渁bnormal鈥� behaviour. Studies on the cognitive abilities and on the feelings and emotions in farm, laboratory, and companion animals have been central in achieving an increased understanding of animal welfare. Studies can show what animals prefer, what they will work to obtain, what they will avoid, and what behavioural and physiological signs are associated with different situations considered to be negative or positive. A current research topic is how to recognise positive emotional states in animals; this will be addressed at the conference under the theme, 鈥減lay behaviour.鈥�

The conference will also explore a key issue, the boundary between science and ethics that has to be crossed when ethology is applied to animal welfare. It is in the interpretation of the behavioural responses, studied using rigorous scientific methods, where the knowledge of species-specific biology, human analogy on how humans respond in similar situations, and empathy towards animals has to be integrated to reach ethical judgments on animal welfare.

鈥淎pplied ethology has affected change in many areas of animal welfare,鈥� says Dr. Cockram. 鈥淓xamples include designing housing for chickens that provides more space and meets behavioural needs (nest box for egg laying, dust bath, and perch); increased use of environmental enrichment for confined livestock, laboratory, and zoo animals that has reduced repetitive abnormal behaviours; and changes in veal calf and swine production to provide more space, group housing, and improved diet.鈥�

Members of the ISAE provide scientific expertise on committees and working groups that make recommendations on legislation, codes of practice, and guidelines designed to improve animal welfare. For example, they contribute to the National Farm Animal Care Council鈥檚 Codes of Practice by participating in the review of the scientific literature on key animal welfare issues.
