     AUAA suspensions were issued as a result of the brawl that occured early in the hockey 
     
     season (November 15, 1997) between the Panthers and the Acadia Axemen. Puck Panther 
     
     Jonathon Murphy, who was suspended for instigating two fights a subsequent fight and atwo 
     
     game misconduct was given a 12 game suspension. This suspension was later reduced to six 
     
     _ games. Jeremy Pierce's suspenston was also reduced, his from 10 games to six games. 
     
     Acadia’s Jeff Mercer’s suspension was reduced from a nine game suspension to 4 games. 
     
     Also, Acadia’s Bruce Watson's 14 game suspension was reduced to 8 games. 
     
    

    
     Dave MacLean, hockey chairman of the AUAA said, “We in the AUAA were 
     
     concerned that we were double penalizing players for the same offence when itcameto CIAU 
     
     sanctions and upon checkingwith our colleagues across the country, this was confirmed.” 
     
    

    
     Obviously the Panthers will welcome back the two players after playing somewhat 
     
     shorthanded for a good deal of the season. 
     
    

    
     MacLean left a warning for the players though. 
     
    

    
     “I am certain that all the players involved are aware that the AUAA does not condone 
     
     sction a as this. Repeated behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated, and will be dealt 
     
     with harshly.”

     Well, the new ‘98 season is upon us, and this semester is 
     
     packed with sporting events. 
     
    

    
     The highlight to look forward to is the women’s basketball 
     
     AUAA finals at UPEI. The women are showing great stamina 
     
     in the AUAA’s this year. They have conceded only one loss 
     
     and remain at the top the league in the basketball standings. The 
     
     girl’s dominated Acadia at home this weekend in a 66-37 
     
     victory. Kate Ellis had a great game dropping field goals from 
     
     everywhere on the court, as well as playing good defense. 
     
    

    
     The men’s team had a 98-53 loss against a very talented 
     
     Acadia side. The men’s team only needs one more win to beat 
     
     last season’s record. Scott Batemen came off the bench and 
     
     had his best game of the season. Hopefully we'll see more of 
     
     him on the court this year. 
     
    

    
     The Hockey Panthers had an exibition game against the 
     
     University of Manitoba during the break and a lost a close one 
     
     5-4. Things are looking up for the Puck Panthers who will be 
     
     able to use suspended players Jonathon Murphy and Jeremy 
     
     Pirece due to AUAA suspension reductions. 
     
    

    
     The only home games this week are hockey -- SFX on 
     
    
   
   
    
     Saturday and Sunday...see you there.
