      Energy,
      excitement,
      and
      a
      lot
     
     
      of
      goals
      would
      best
      describe
      the
      men's
     
     
      hockey
      team
      this
      year
      at
      home.
      With
      a
     
     
      record

      of
      24
      goals
     
     
      for
      and
      13
      goals
      against,
      the
      men's
     
     
      hockey
      team
      must
      be
      in
      love
      with
      the
     
     
      ice
      at
      the
      Civic
      Centre
      where
      they
     
     
      have
      been
      playing
      some
      extremely
     
     
      entertaining
      hockey.
      Undefeated
      in
     
     
      regulation
      through
      the
      first
      six
      games
     
     
      of
      the
      season
      made
      UPEI
      one
      of
      the
     
     
      toughest
      home
      teams
      in
      the
      AUS.
     
    

    
     
      However,
      the
      team
      must
      be
     
     
      suffering
      from
      a
      little
      bit
      of
      homesick-
     
     
      ness
      as
      they
      take
      to
      the
      road,
      where
     
     
      they
      have
      had
      a
      record
      of
      0-wins-3-
     
     
      losses-1-tie-1OT
      loss,
      with
      a
      total
      of
     
     
      16
      goals
      for
      and
      28
      goals
      against.
      The
     
     
      men's
      hockey
      team
      is
      definitely
      suffer-
     
     
      ing
      from
      a
      Jekyll
      and
      Hyde
      complex
      in
     
     
      the
      first
      portion
      of
      the
      season
      (invinci-
     
     
      ble
      at
      home,
      and
      mortal
      on
      the
      road).
     
     
      There
      must
      be
      something
      in
      the
      Civic
     
     
      Centre
      water
      or
      air
      that
      gives
      UPEI
     
     
      that
      killer
      instinct.
     
    

    
     
      While
      it's
      great
      that
      UPEI
      fans
     
     
      get
      to
      watch
      the
      Panthers
      play
      their
     
     
      best
      hockey,
      I
      can't
      help
      but
      wonder
     
     
      when
      UPEI
      will
      start
      winning
      on
      the
     
     
      road.
      I
      know
      it's
      early
      in
      the
      season,
     
     
      but
      if
      UPEI
      can
      keep
      up
      their
      play
      at
     
     
      home
      and
      start
      winning
      on
      the
      road,
     
     
      then
      it's
      only
      a
      matter
      of
      time
      until
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      improve
      their
      overall
      record
      ©
     
    
   
   
    
     
      of
      4-3-2-2,
      and
      claw
      their
      way
      from
     
     
      the
      middle
      of
      the
      pack
      to
      top
      spot
      in
     
     
      the
      AUS.
     
    

    
     
      -
      I'm
      not
      trying
      to
      knock
      the
     
     
      men's
      hockey
      team.
      I
      get
      to
      watch
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      them
      pound
      their
      opponents
      nearly
     
    
   
   
    
     
      every
      home
      game,
      so
      I
      can't
      really
     
     
      complain.
      But
      they-need
      to
      take
      the
     
     
      show
      on
      the
      road
      and
      start
      beating
      up
     
     
      on
      teams
      no
      matter
      where
      they
      are
     
     
      playing.
     
    

    
     
      With
      the
      success
      that
      the
     
     
      Panthers
      have
      had
      at
      home,
      there
      is
      no
     
     
      surprise
      that
      there
      has
      been
      more
      than
     
     
      a
      few
      outstanding
      performances
      by
     
     
      individual
      players.
      Joel
      Ward
      is
      among
     
     
      the
      top
      five
      in
      points
      in
      the
      AUS
      and

      while
      Brian
      Passmore
      and
      Cleon
     
     
      Smith
      are

      Jason
      Flick
      has
     
     
      done
      his
      job
      so
      far
      this
      year,
      giving
      his
     
     
      team
      a
      chance
      to
      win
      nearly
      every
     
     
      game,
      and
      his
      stats
      are
      slowly
      improv-
     
     
      ing
      as
      the
      season
      has
      progresses.
     
    

    
     
      The
      men's
      hockey
      team,
      over
     
     
      the
      past
      few
      years,
      have
      been
      known
     
     
      to
      play
      better
      in
      the
      second
      half
      of
      the
     
     
      season
      than
      the
      first.
      If
      they
      can
      repeat
     
     
      this
      pattern
      this
      year,
      then
      anything
      is
     
     
      possible
      for
      this
      team.
      And
      once
      they
     
     
      win
      one
      game
      on
      the
      road,
      I'm
      sure
     
     
      more
      will
      come.
      As
      someone
      once
      said
     
     
      to
      me
      "If
      you
      can't
      win
      a
      single
      game,
     
     
      than
      just
      win
      a
      whole
      lot
      of
      games."
