The Niverville High School’s new Panthers hockey team is enjoying a strong start to their inaugural season as a member of the Winnipeg High School Hockey League.
As it sits now, the Panthers boast a 4–4 record in league play, which puts them in seventh place in their 12-team division.
“As a first-year program, we had hoped to be competitive in our games, and we have been thus far,” says head coach Brandon Lockerby. “It’s been a lot of fun coaching these talented young players and we’ve had a great start to the year.”
The Panthers are now finished tournament play for the season. Its last tournament was held in Carman from November 15–16, where they lost in the final to the Carman Cougars.
The Panthers have an enviable home stand coming up in December, with four of their five games being played at home. They will be back in action next on December 5 at CRRC, going up against the Kildonan East Reivers. The puck drops at 4:00 p.m.
