Men’s Hockey Panthers still alive in playoff action

The UPEI men's hockey team overcame a game 1 loss against UNB to tie up the best three-of-five series Friday night when they beat the Varsity Reds 4-2 at the Aitken Centre in Fredericton.

Games 3 and 4 of the Subway AUS men's hockey semifinals will take place back on Island ice at the MacLauchlan Arena. Game 3 will take place on Monday, February 25 at 7:00 pm, while Game 4 will take place on Tuesday, February 26 at 7:00 pm.

Standing tickets are still available for Monday and Tuesday games-but they're going fast! Contact CARI Box Office for ticket updates.

For Panther fans who don't have tickets but want to experience hockey playoff action and some ‘cowboy' spirit, UPEI Athletics and Recreation, in partnership with The Wave, has opened the Molson Saloon. Opening at 5:00 pm and accessible via the CARI Complex lobby for those aged 19 and older, the saloon is located on the third court of the gym and will feature the live AUStv webcast of the games on an eight-foot screen. Admission to the saloon is $5/per person but is free for game ticket holders who want to join in before game-time or during intermissions.

UPEI students have a chance to win a ticket to Tuesday night's game as 50 tickets will be available during a special promotion at the Molson Saloon on Monday from 5:00-6:45 pm.
