      The
      UPEI
      Panthers
      men's
      hockey
     
     
      team
      began
      2004
      with
      an
      impressive
     
     
      8-1
      thrashing
      of
      the
      Dalhousie
      Tigers
     
     
      this
      past
      weekend.
      John
      Kozoriz
     
     
      recorded
      his
      first
      hat-trick
      of
      the
      sea-
     
     
      son,
      while
      Joel
      Ward
      notched
      his
      ninth
     
     
      of
      the
      champagne
      and
      also
      chipped
      in
     
     
      with
      three
      helpers.
      Also
      scoring
      for
     
     
      the
      panthers
      was
      Adam
      Rivet
      (2),
     
     
      Darcy
      Harris,
      and
