By Darrell Cole

The UPEI Hockey Pan- thers started their season oft with a bang snaring 8 win and a tie against a tough Acadia team in a pair of exhibition games played last weekend at the Charlottetown Forum.
On Saturday the Pan- thers spotted Acadia to a 4- 2 lead after one period be- fore storming back in wild second period which saw the score tied 7-7 after sixty min- utes. In the third period the two teams settled down to play some defense and it took 18:32 before the tie was bro- ken as Mike Thusuaka drilled a low slapshot past Acadia goaltender Chris Churchill.

scored on Saturday night. Be- sides Thusuaka’s winner Kevin Skilliter, Jerry Fleming, John Copple, Dave Shellington, Greg Choules, and Greg Gravel scored for the Panthers.
On Sunday Kevin Skil- liter, Jerry Fleming, and Ron Hennessey gave the Panthers a quick 3-0 lead but Acadia pulled to within one goal on two goals 0:43 apart to make the score 3-2 after one pe- riod. Randy Muttart, now playing center, scored early in the second period to give the Panthers a 4-2 lead, but again Acadia came back to tie the game 0:49 seconds into the third period.
Lady’s Field Hockey has strong weekend showing
By Darrell Cole

Last weekend must have been a pleasing one for UPEI Field Hockey coach Simone MacKenzie as the Lady Pan- thers played some of their yest Field Hockey all season against the University of New Brunswick.
They may have lost but it was to who they lost and
counts here. sity of New Brunswick Bloomers are the best te in AUAA Field Hockey 8 are ranked among the top five teams in the country. Lady Panthers were not in- timidated by that fact and fought that UNB team right down to the final whistle in both games. Even though our team lost we should be proud of them. They are steadily improving and who knows next year could be their year to make a run at the AUAA Playoffs.
All the Lady Panthers games have been close this year, even against top-ranked teams like UNB and St. Mary’s. Earlier in the year they tied St. Francais Xavier 0-0. St. F.X. is no push over being a strong team in the AUAA with only one point
The
out of second place. Before the season started the Lady Panthers were in a pre-season tournament and these results have shown me that there is promising future for Women’s Field Hockey here at UPEI.
It is encouraging that the Panthers have only allowed 14 goals through nine games. “‘That’s an average of roughly ongeos' a game allowed by netminder Tracey MacEach- ern. \ That is really good and ranks up there with sec- ond place St. Mary’s. The girls have one more game left in the season and one more chance for that first win which has eluded them. The team has tried so hard all season and I am sure that all their hard work will be rewarded Wednesday against Mount Allison in Sackville, New Brunswick. »
In closing I would like to congratulate the UPEI Lady’s Field Hockey team for. a very entertaining year of Field Hockey and wish them luck for next year’s season. Z would also like to warn the other team’s in the AUAA to look out next season for our UPEI Panthers Field Hockey Team. =
Coach: Vince Mul- ligan and Captain Steve Ful- ton were both pleased with last weekend’s results even though the edges looked a lit- tle rough. Mulligan said this can be expected as a lot of the guys are not used to play- ing together yet. Fulton said, »Things will be o.k.”, con- cerning the upcoming season. He said it would be tough to replace Ron Carragher and Craig Jenkins.
Both Coach Mulligan and Fulton were pleased of the play of rookie defensemen John Copple and Wayne MacPhee as well as Greg Choules and Brent Thompson
up front. Fulton explained

“Tomorrow, I'll start my fitness program!” How many of us say that on a regular ba- sis? In doing so, we simply put off until the future, what we should be starting ‘now.
Part of the problem ex- ists because we view fitness as a condition to reach as op- posed to a lifestyle to lead. Fitness simply is our ability to function on a daily basis. Do you recognize yourself when:
— you are out of breath when you get to the 4th floor of Dalton; ‘
— you drive to the Burger King from Blanchard;
-you don’t go out for a walk or to join people in ac-
tivity because you don’t have
the energy;
—you are always tired or have a cold. :

that the addition of Copple and MacPhee should give the Panthers one of the top de- fensive corps in the AUAA. He also said that all four lines on the Panthers are very well- balanced but he is not making any predictions yet. The
Panthers regular season gets underway next weekend when the University of St. Thomas
Tommies and head coach Al MacAdam come to Charlot- tetown for a pair of week- end games. These two games should be very entertaining games as St. Thomas is fresh from an upset win over the Universite de Moncton Blue c Also St. Thomas was one of the only teams to defeat UPEI last year. .

These are all signs that perhaps our level of daily functioning (fitness) is not what it should be. Fitness is
not, therefore, something we
do just to be good at sport, but instead is our ability to lead active lifestyles—how we live our lives.
What we need to do is de- cide we want to change, de- cide what we want to do to change and then do it.
There are many opportu- nities here at UPEI for us to improve our fitness. We have:
