Panthers add NHL-drafted forward Sebastian Bradshaw
The UPEI Panthers have added a former NHL draft pick to their forward group, landing power forward Sebastian Bradshaw for the 2026-27 season.
Bradshaw, a 21-year-old from Newtonville, Ontario, joins the Panthers after three seasons in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), where he suited up for the Coquitlam Express, Langley Rivermen, and most recently the Vernon Vipers.
Bradshaw’s junior career reached a major milestone in 2023, when he was selected by the Dallas Stars in the seventh round of the NHL Entry Draft.
