This season, it wasn’t meant to be for the UPEI Panthers (7-14-0-2) against the Acadia University Axemen (13-13-1-1), who entered Saturday’s Alumni Night game at the MacLauchlan Arena looking to finally triumph against Acadia after losing the last four attempts.

Despite flying out of the gates with playoff-style intensity and taking advantage of the return of their head coach and two captains, the UPEI Panthers (7-14-0-1) had a crucial opportunity slip out of their hands against the Saint Mary’s University Huskies (14-8-2-0) on Friday night at the MacLauchlan Arena, allowing six goals in the final two periods and ultimately losing 6-4.
After a dramatic and resilient home-ice win the previous night, the UPEI Panthers (7-13-0-1) were unsuccessful in keeping the momentum going in front of their fans on Saturday, falling 5-2 to the second-place St. Francis Xavier University X-Men (13-7-1-1) at the MacLauchlan Arena.
The UPEI Panthers (7-12-0-1) rallied explosively after an ugly start against the Dalhousie Tigers (3-19-0-0), avoiding an upset with a four-goal burst in the third period en route to an emotional, high-intensity 7-4 win at the MacLauchlan Arena on Friday.
