UPEI Panthers land former York Lion defender David D’Agostino for 2023–24 season

The UPEI Men’s Hockey Panthers have secured a commitment from veteran defender David D’Agostino for the 2023–24 season.

D’Agostino spent the past four years with the York Lions and gives the Panthers another experienced option on the back end. The 25-year-old from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, recorded six goals and 16 assists in 66 games with the club.

Standing at five-foot-ten, D’Agostino isn’t the biggest defender in the league, but he makes up for it with his skating ability and offensive upside.
