There is a palpable buzz surrounding the UPEI 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.
