PDHS Boys’Hockey

The team had a good showing at a pre-season tournament a few weeks ago, losing only to the eventual tournament winner. With that positive start, the coaching staff feels the team should have a successful year The season opener on November 20 was a trip to play

McKinnon Park of Caledonia. The team lost to the Blue Devils 5-1 At the end of November, the boys lost to Assumption with a 4-1 score, with Austin Christian being the lone scorer.

On Tuesday against BCI, the Panthers trailed 1-0 late into the third period, pulling their goalie for a man advantage. With just a minute left in the game, a Panther penalty negated their one-man advantage. Usually, you would think that the game would be done, however, the Panther's coach kept the goalie on the bench and decided to play five-on-six. The tactic paid off as the Paris side tied the game in the last few seconds
