UPEI Men's Hockey head coach Forbes MacPherson believes that goaltending is the most important position in hockey, often highlighting the play of his netminder in post-game interviews following wins. And it’s why he decided to add another talented goaltender to his roster for the playoff push. Newcomer Cedrick Andree joins the Panthers after playing professionally with the American Hockey League’s Belleville Senators in 2020–21, followed by a stint with the East Coast Hockey League’s South Carolina Stingrays this season.

Dr. Marya Ahmed, an associate professor in the UPEI Department of Chemistry, has been named assistant scientific director (Prince Edward Island) for the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute (BHCRI).
