The battle for the women’s hockey CIS title: UPEI Panthers

After finishing fourth in their conference, the Panthers shocked the Atlantic University Sport conference when they pulled off a gold-medal win on March 4, beating Mt. Alison 3-0. This will be the first Panthers appearance at CIS nationals and it was their first AUS title. Netminder Kristy Dobson stopped 55 of 56 shots on net in the two final games. Dobson is ranked second in the AUS for goals against average, with a 1.74 average in 15 games, and tied for third in shutout records with two. Other strong players who will be in Edmonton this week for the CIS championship include Kelsey O’Donnell with eight goals and 12 assists, Ferran Brown with nine goals and nine assists and Janelle MacKenzie with six goals and 12 assists. MacKenzie’s .231 shot percentage puts her in third spot in the AUS.
