      A
      lot
      can
      happen
      in
      a
      week.
      Just
     
     
      ask
      UPEI
      Panthers
      men’s
      hockey
      team.
     
     
      Heading
      into
      Christmas,
      the
      Panthers
     
     
      under
      the
      guidance
      of
      head
      coach
      Doug
     
     
      Currie,
      were
      two
      games
      under
      the
      .500
     
     
      mark
      at
      5-7-1
      and
      managed
      to
      drop
      a
     
     
      pair
      of
      exhibition
      games
      to
      the
      Alberta
     
     
      Golden
      Bears
      and
      the
      UPEI
      Alumni
     
     
      team
      over
      the
      break
      as
      well.
     
    

    
     
      However,
      a
      pair
      of
      victories
      over
     
     
      nationally-ranked
      St.
      Thomas
      by
      scores
     
     
      of
      5-4
      and
      8-6
      combined
      with
      a
      5-1
     
     
      pounding
      of
      the
      Dalhousie
      Tigers
      has
     
     
      brightened
      the
      outlook
      of
      the
      Panthers.
     
     
      ‘*Certainly,
      when
      we
      can
      take
      four
     
     
      points
      from
      a
      team
      like
      St.
      Thomas,
      it’s
     
     
      really
      positive
      for
      us,’’
      said
      Currie,
     
     
      ‘*Everyone’s
      been
      working
      extremely
     
     
      hard,
      so
      we’re
      really
      pleased
      with
      the
     
     
      effort
      as
      a
      whole.”’

      have

      have
     
     
      only
      two
      wins
      in

      The
      UPEI
      men’s
      basketball
      team
     
     
      has
      been
      a
      team
      of
      opportunity
      this
     
     
      season.
      Heading
      into
      the
      weekend
     
     
      against
      UCCB,
      the
      Panthers
      had
      a
      3-4
     
     
      record,
      but
      two
      of
      those
      wins
      came
     
     
      against
      St.
      F.X.
      --
      wins
      which
      are
      worth
     
     
      four
      points
      each.
     
    

    
     
      Therefore,
      the
      Panthers
      sit
      in
      a
      tie
     
     
      for
      third

      X-Men.
      All
      three
      teams
     
     
      have
      10
      points,
      four
      behind
      Acadia
      and
     
     
      eight
      back
      of
      undefeated
      Dalhousie.

      a
