7 p.m. in Halifax.
The rebuilding era continues tonight.
Several returning veterans and young guns, many new faces, and a fresh crop of goalies.
Another season of growth, but if our players think we'll surprise people, that speaks volumes.
Let's have some fun. Bring it on.
Couldn’t be more prouder of this team than ever.
What a historical season. Thank you for the best junior hockey PEI has ever seen.
We will be back. May be a long while until then… but until then… may the memories live on forever.

AND THAT IS A CINDERELLA STORY FOR THE AGES!!!
THE UPEI PANTHERS ARE MOVING ON TO THE SEMIFINALS!
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! WHAT A GAME! WHAT AN ATMOSPHERE!
#USPORTS
#GoPanthersGo
Awards for franchise records!
Patrick Guay for most goals in a season, Noah Laaouan for best career +/- and Lukas Cormier for literally every defensive one ever… sorry, I couldn’t count. He’s just too good.
Drama at the Eastlink Centre.
Zac Beauregard just destroyed the Alberta goalie… TWICE.
The crowd is really giving it to the goalie. This is crazy.

#GoPanthersGo
Your PTBFP Player of the Game for tonight is............... with one goal and one assist, Patrick LeBlanc! Hell of a performance.
Honorable Mentions: Noah Laaouan, William Trudeau, Jarrett Todd
2022 Hardest Working Player: Keiran Gallant!
Well deserved and very expected. But huge props to Ben Boyd, Jarrett Todd and Drew Elliott as well. All nominees equally worked very hard, along with the rest of the team.
Captain Keiran Gallant is staying home!!
A great addition to the Panthers. Lots of speed, work ethic, and leadership added to the lineup, and he should be an immediate fan-favourite.
In my opinion, the following players should be recognized for pro (draft, signing, etc):
-Daniel Hardie
-Nikita Alexandrov
-Keith Getson
-Matthew Welsh
-maybe Derek Gentile?
2022 Rookie of the Year: Jakub Brabenec!
All of the rookies did fantastic in their own different forms. That’s what makes this rookie class so unique out of any in Islanders history. What a group.
If you didn’t shed at least one tear during that pre-game ceremony, something’s not right.
Awesome to have such a player with lots of kindness, care and dedication to people around him, no matter who it is. Props to Matt!
Several accomplishments made in this Isles/Titan game so far...
-P. LeBlanc with his first two QMJHL points (in a 2:13 span)
-L. Cormier has reached 30 points
-N. Laaouan's first two-goal QMJHL regular season game
-X. Bernard's first goal as an Islander
What a journey for this young man. From being a low line forward in his early years to being one of the top players, it was an incredible career for Keith Getson. Now, he’s going for the Memorial Cup tonight in Halifax.
Best of luck
@KeithGetson16
and congrats on a great career!
From a ninth-round QMJHL draft pick to the captain of the Charlottetown Islanders within four years.
No better player to pick than one of the biggest underdog stories in franchise history. He'll have some terrific company assisting his leadership.
It all begins tomorrow night.
Three stars: LeBlanc, Lapenna, Jacob Melanson.
Lapenna went 45 for 46. Outstanding performance.
Gallant with two assists, Michaud scores his first, and Kearsey collects a secondary assist en route to LeBlanc's OT winner.
Great start to the season!
And so ends another season of Islanders hockey.
Thank you to the organization and the fans for a spectacular season. Best one in history, and I am honoured to be a part of it… at least, when I was active on here. Heh.
See you all at training camp!
#GoIslesGo
I've waited nine years for this. WE'VE waited nine years for this... or 19 counting the Rocket.
Ain't no way in hell this account is quiet during the experience. Time to protect the bridge. Let's. Go.
#GoIslesGo
Time to introduce what I call....
“Protect The Bridge Player of the Game”
Yes, we will still use that term. Light It Up won’t be used.
For tonight’s game, we have a tie because it’s too hard to decide.
Daniel Hardie and Matty Welsh!
It ain't fun going from years of success to returning to square one... but welcome to the good ol' roller coaster of junior hockey.
It's just the beginning of a new, fun era in Charlottetown.
Thank you all for following along this season! A pleasure to be an
@IslandersHKY
fan.
WE GOT A GOALIE!
From Latvia, EliteProspects has him at 6'1" and 154 lbs.
Went undrafted after being ranked
#8
for international goalies by NHL Central Scouting and ranked
#284
by FCHockey.
And with that, another season of Q hockey officially comes to a close.
Congratulations Quebec on continuing the Q's Memorial Cup streak. Everyone can throw away the stigma of the Q being considered the weakest of the three CHL leagues.
Next up... the entry draft, next Saturday.
🚨🚨🚨
Patience was key on that one! Lukas Cormier goes top corner on the glove side, with sticks all around him.
Hey
@HockeyCanada
can you please accept this kid?
4-1.
Players that impressed me the most:
-Colin Van Den Hurk
-Chad Arsenault
-Evan Gallant
-Anthony Hamel
-Xavier Fortin
-Zach Beauregard
-Drew Johnston
-Dell Welton
@IslandersHKY
@HFXMooseheads
The 2017-18 season just gives me absolute chills.
We denied the critics who put us in last place. We shushed the haters. This team showed us all what Islanders hockey really is. We showed what the Charlottetown Islanders are capable of doing.
Just one win away. Just one. Sucks.
This one will sting, but we recoup some needed assets and Elliott gets a chance to shine on a Drummondville roster that may fight for the title next year.
Thank you for everything Drew! We'll miss you dearly.
ONE WEEKEND... TWO GAMES... FOUR POINTS!
6-1 win! Goals by Lucas Romeo (2), Alexis Michaud (2), Michael Horth, and Owen Conrad. Aksels Ozols stops 19 of 20.
If that performance proves how good this group is at its best, we're in for a fun year. Still early, but seriously.
Keith Getson and the Halifax Mooseheads are going to the Memorial Cup Final this Sunday!
Atta boy,
@KeithGetson16
! We’re all cheering for you from Charlottetown!
Bizarre scene in Halifax as the Mooseheads and their fans celebrate a 4-3 LOSS- that's good enough to get them into the final.
#OneToRemember
#MemorialCup
It's time for another night of every-now-and-then coverage of non-Islanders hockey.
For a nearly sold-out game PLUS this potentially being UPEI's last one, I might as well.
But... do NOT underestimate the underdog. Tough opponent, yes, but you never know.
Let's do this! It's GAME DAY!
FRIDAY Mar. 17
#PANTHERS
ON THE HOME🏟:
7 PM | MHKY🏒 vs. Calgary (Quarter-final)
Note: There will be a TAILGATE PARTY🎉 starting at 4:30!

With the two picks in the QMJHL American Draft, the Islanders have selected defenseman Aryx Siefker from Connecticut and forward Ronnie Hill from Maine.
Just thought about this. Graham has been getting better and better every game. Personal opinion, I think he could possibly fight for a spot next training camp. If not next, then definitely the one after.
He should be proud. We could’ve easily lost a lot more games. People thought we wouldn’t even get 20 wins before Christmas.
But we stuck in 5th place. Incredible job by the boys to prove critics wrong. They deserve a huge praise. 👏
Head coach
@JimHulton1
said he told his
@IslandersHKY
after tonight's win it's been a hell of a first half. "(I’m) just really proud of how they battled through all the different adversities they faced and managed to have a successful first half."

On the prospect end, what a comeback statement victory by the Knights.
Brett Arsenault tied the game on a short-handed goal with nearly a minute to go, and then Isaac Vos helped assist the OT winner.
9-5-0-0 beats 14-1-0-0. What a game.
Your PTBFP Player of the Game for tonight is.............. with two goals (and four in the last three games), DREW ELLIOTT!
Honorable mentions go to Xavier Simoneau and Lukas Cormier.
ISLES HANG ON FOR THE WIN!
Final shots 39-30 in favour of Shawinigan.
We're now on a three-game winning streak with a jump to 12th in the standings!
A good ol' morning classic as the home crowd gets their revenge for Game 5 last year.
Confirmed by the QMJHL.
To Baie-Comeau: Xavier Fortin
To Charlottetown: Drew Elliott
Welcome to Charlottetown, Drew!
Best of luck in Baie-Comeau, Xavier!
On behalf of my fan page and myself, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! To all of the Islanders fans, management, players and everyone else!
Make it FIVE wins in a row for your Charlottetown Islanders, as they defeat the Drummondville Voltigeurs 6-3!
Simon Hughes scores two goals in his former barn.
What a start to the road trip. Very valuable points and a lot of confidence heading into Sherbrooke tomorrow night.
It has been a sure pleasure watching this kid grow into a fan favorite and a role model for so many fans across the Island.
In my opinion, I want to see the
#73
be lifted up to the rafters. No final playoff run? Do that.
Thank you for everything, Matt. Best of luck. ♥️
When thinking of people to thank, I really don’t know where to start. I will be forever grateful for everyone who made the last 5 years a true blessing. Much love PEI... it’s been a pleasure.
-73✌🏼❤️
They just showed an awesome video honouring every single player that has worn a Charlottetown Islanders jersey.
Now they’re introducing the current players, and… yea, insert “who?” jokes.

“As we enter a new chapter of the franchise’s story heading into our tenth year as the Islanders, it was important to us that we secure our future behind the bench."

George Matthews has confirmed that the new Eastlink Centre scoreboard is on its way, earlier than expected.
A massive, long overdue upgrade.
Finally no more intense staring at one of the four corner screens that can be tough to watch, especially with replays.
The trade period has begun.
@chtownknights
alumni Simon Hughes is coming home for two 4ths.
28 points in 97 career regular-season games. 7 points in 30 games with the Volts this season.
He's COMING!
Below is a POTENTIAL top-9 forward core -- imagine the team selects another forward as I tweet this.
Horth - Morneau - Michaud
Hughes - Bell - Romeo
Lyons - Maruna - Campbell
GOAL!
Drew Elliott will collect a pass from Max-Antoine Melancon, streak in and fire a shot low glove side from the left-wing circle that gets past the goalie!
5-3.
Two free agents have been added to the Islanders roster according to the Q website.
Forward Kian Bell from the SJHL's Battleford North Stars. A former Cape Breton Eagles player.
Forward Kyle Powers from the CCHL's Brockville Braves. From the Ottawa area, assumably undrafted.
LETHAL WITH THE LEATHER AND A BEAUTIFUL PLAY TO PUT US ON THE BOARD!
Jakob Robillard stretches the pad out and Simon Hughes is DIMED en route to a breakaway goal.
This is the one year where players are actually trying and are fighting for their career. Not insulting anyone from past years, but this camp has been the best in YEARS.
The theme of the Islanders training camp continues to be the pace. Even in a scrimmage not one player has taken a shift off. Everyone is here to make an impact, top to bottom.
ROBILLARD THE ROTTWEILER IS STAYING HOME!... at least, if a pro team doesn't snag him, of course.
Jakob Robillard and Jonah Capriotti.
Elite goaltending tandem.
Other congratulations going to Jakob Robillard this time. Robillard has committed to
@UPEIMHockey
for the upcoming 2023-24 season!
Barring, he signs a pro deal in the upcoming days, Robillard will dawn the green and white in the fall.
Huge snag for
@UPEIPanthers
!
#GoldBlooded
Edwards with a great game. Called on him and Casey to be the top breakout players this year.
Heard Keiran Gallant had a solid debut. Nice to see Gaetan Jobin get his first goal. Many more to come from him.
Casey, Desruisseaux and Beauregard continue to perform well....
Cole Edwards put together a big 3-point game to lead your Islanders to a 5-2 victory over the Halifax Mooseheads!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the rink and tuned in to Ocean 100 Saturday Night Hockey!
