Sarah Forsythe and Kyle Maksimovich named UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for November 21–27 are Sarah Forsythe (women’s hockey) and Kyle Maksimovich (men’s hockey).

A science student from Riverview, New Brunswick, Forsythe has seen an increased role in her sophomore season. The second-year goalie put together her best performance on Wednesday night as she turned aside 26 shots in a 3-0 shutout win over the U SPORTS number one ranked team, the University of New Brunswick Reds, in Fredericton.

"Sarah had a fantastic performance Wednesday night. She had a lot of work to do and some really difficult saves to make and did so against a tough team in their home rink," said head coach Sean Fisher.

UPEI men’s hockey forward and third-year science student, Kyle Maksimovich from Hamilton, Ontario, had another strong weekend as he finished with three goals and two assists. He was especially pivotal in Saturday’s 6-3 win against the Dalhousie Tigers, having had a hand in three of the six goals with two goals and one assist.

“Kyle had another great weekend for our team,” said head coach Forbes MacPherson. “He has been very consistent and playing at an extremely high level. We will look to lean on him again this week as we prep for a big week of hockey."
