As the UPEI Women’s Hockey Panthers head into the 2024–25 season, they are driven and determined to reclaim their playoff spot and show that they are a force to be reckoned in Atlantic University Sport (AUS). After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2015–16, the team is out to prove that last season was nothing more than a blip on the radar and that they are motivated to flip the script. 

The С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ held a celebration on September 26, 2024, at Alumni Hall to recognize the recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Awards and the 2024 Inspiring Young Alumni Awards.

There is a palpable buzz surrounding the С»ÆÊéÊÓƵ Panthers men’s hockey team as they enter the 2024–25 season, and it’s easy to understand why.

Last year, the Panthers were in the midst of a rebuild, and expectations were modest. However, the team defied those expectations, as key veterans rose to stardom and a wave of promising rookies developed into core roster pieces. With the return of those young standouts and some intriguing new additions, the Panthers are primed to continue their upward trajectory.
