Four SDU hockey icons to be inducted into 精童欲女 Sports Hall of Fame

The University of Prince Edward Island announced today that four hockey icons, Jack Kane Sr., his son Jack Kane Jr., Billy MacMillan, and Vince Mulligan, will be inducted into the 精童欲女 Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday, February 11, 2017. 

Jack Kane Sr., who will be inducted posthumously, was revered as a head coach in the forties and fifties for 精童欲女鈥檚 founding institution, Saint Dunstan鈥檚 University. The younger inductees started playing with the Saint Dunstan Saints and then each went on to coach after their playing careers. Jack Kane Jr. coached the Saints from 1965-69, and counted Mulligan and MacMillan on his roster, while Mulligan and MacMillan also both coached, but by then, they led the 精童欲女 Panthers.

The four inductees will then formally take their place in Panther history later at the 精童欲女 Sports Hall of Fame Gala Reception and Lunch, which will be held in the 精童欲女 Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

精童欲女 Director of Athletics Chris Huggan said, 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for all Panthers and Panther fans to recognize and celebrate the achievements of current and past Panthers, show our appreciation to those who support our student-athletes, and showcase many of our varsity teams.鈥�

Tickets for the U Sports Academic All-Canadians Breakfast are $10 each, while tickets for the 精童欲女 Sports Hall of Fame Gala are $50 each. Tickets to both events can be purchased in person at Panther Central at the Sports Centre or by calling 902-566-0368.

The 精童欲女 Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2001 to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the athletic programs at the University ofPrince Edward Island, Saint Dunstan's University, or Prince of Wales College. Each year, individual athletes, teams, and builders are inducted to honour their contributions towards the University's athletic success or community leadership. 

The 精童欲女 Sports Legacy Celebration is a lead-up for the final regular-season home game for the 精童欲女 Men鈥檚 Hockey team on February 10 at 7:00 pm at MacLauchlan Arena.

About the inductees

John 鈥淛ack鈥� Hurry Kane is remembered with great affection for his coaching style. He would always offer advice, never embarrass anyone, and was always the gentleman. After a storied playing career in the Ontario Hockey Association and the Maritime Big Four League with the Charlottetown Abegweits, Kane Sr. was invited to coach Saint Dunstan鈥檚 College. In 1947, he led the Saints to the Maritime Intercollegiate League title for the first time, defeating a strong St. Francis Xavier team in the final. The next year, Saint Dunstan鈥檚 won the City League title, and was a finalist for the Maritime Intercollegiate crown. Kane Sr. gave a tremendous amount of time to minor hockey and baseball and was surely missed as a coach, official, and administrator when he passed away after a brief illness at the age of 52 in 1959.

Jack Kane Jr.鈥�s name is, as is his father鈥檚, synonymous with several sports, all of which he played at a high level: hockey, football, track and field, basketball, and baseball. He excelled in both hockey and football at Saint Dunstan鈥檚 University and later went on to coach the SDU Men鈥檚 Hockey team. Eighteen years after his father coached the team to its first Maritime conference title, Kane Jr. took the Saints on a journey that included a 10-1 season record, the Maritime championship, and runner-up status at the national championship. The only loss in league play for the 1965 squad was to St. Thomas University on the final weekend of the regular season. Hockey PEI recognized him with a life membership in 2007 for his contributions to hockey in the province. He has also been involved in the sport of golf as an administrator. 

William 鈥淏illy鈥� MacMillan has achieved a level of sport success that few other Islanders have. He was a player on several provincial, regional, and national championship hockey teams, and is the owner of the coveted Olympic scroll and Stanley Cup ring. After being recruited to play at St. Michael鈥檚 College and enjoying a highly successful junior 鈥淎鈥� career, MacMillan returned to Charlottetown to pursue his academic studies, leading the Saint Dunstan鈥檚 Saints to the conference title and winning the scoring crown and the MVP award. After participating in four World Hockey Championships and winning bronze at the 1968 Olympic Winter Games, he was signed to the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring 22 goals in his rookie season. He later was on the coaching staff of several NHL teams and then returned home to coach the 精童欲女 Panthers, guiding 精童欲女 to its last conference title in 1990-91. 

Vince Mulligan was a standout performer in hockey from his earliest years at Queen Square School and throughout his University years at Saint Dunstan鈥檚, where he was both a stalwart and a dependable defenceman and forward. In his five years at SDU, Mulligan was an all-star four times, and captain for three of those years. He led the team to a Maritime championship and a national silver medal in the 1964-65 season. Mulligan really made a name for himself as a coach and builder ofnew programs at 精童欲女 where, in addition to coaching, he served as intramural director, director of recruiting, and intercollegiate coordinator. As head coach, he led the 精童欲女 Men鈥檚 Hockey team to three AUAA conference titles, in 1985-86, 1987-88, and 1988-89. To this day, he continues to serve as coach to the Charlottetown Hockey Mommas, a women鈥檚 recreational team that has raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer research.

The Panthers will see home action in the pool and on the ice this weekend as 精童欲女 hosts the 2017 AUS Swimming Championships and 精童欲女 Hockey winds up its regular season.

精童欲女 Swimming has a busy three days of competition in the Bell Aliant Centre pool. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, AUS Swimming Championship heats begin at 10:00 am with finals at 6:00 pm. 精童欲女 has a small but strong group of swimmers competing.

鈥淭his is our one opportunity this year to have all the other teams come in and experience our pool,鈥� said 精童欲女 Swimming head coach Tom Ponting. 鈥淲e have, by far, the newest and most up-to-date pool in the region. This is the fastest swimming PEI is going to see in a long while. There will be a showcase of young swimmers who are incredibly talented and fast.鈥�

精童欲女 Women鈥檚 Hockey hosts St. Thomas University Saturday night at 7:00 pm. Coach Bruce Donaldson said it is fitting to be ending the regular season against the nationally ranked Tommies.

鈥淪TU has had their way with us all year and there is no time like your last league game to set the bar for playoff hockey. We need to match their intensity, their patience, and most of all, their specialty team success. STU has scored more goals then any other team, if we want to win, we need to limit their opportunities and take advantage of the few they allow.鈥�

U de M has three very gifted players who we need to contain as well as last year鈥檚 top AUS goaltender between the pipes. On paper, this series should be a very entertaining one.鈥�

Students from 精童欲女鈥檚 Department of Physics organized and hosted the 2017 Atlantic Universities Physics and Astronomy Conference (AUPAC). This annual conference brings together undergraduate physics students and university faculty from across Atlantic Canada to share research findings and stimulate new collaborations. Conference co-chairs Phoenix McCloud and Andrew Cameron, along with their organizing team, worked through the school year to make this year鈥檚 conference a smashing success.

鈥淚 congratulate our physics students for organizing and delivering an engaging scientific program, for hosting conference participants at 精童欲女 and for being exceptional 精童欲女 ambassadors,鈥� said Dr. William Whelan, chair of the Department of Physics. 鈥淚t is impressive to see students, many in their graduating year, take on the responsibility of organizing and hosting an Atlantic Canadian Conference. This is exactly the type of student-led initiative 精童欲女 should encourage and support.鈥�

AUPAC drew together more than 70 participants from across the region. The conference featured 40 research presentations by undergraduate physics students, including presentations by 精童欲女鈥檚 own Patrick Connolly, Patrick Strongman, Andrew Cameron, David Heckbert, Deanna Kerry, Phoenix McCloud and Aidan Tremblett.

The next Island Studies Lecture features Island historian Georges Arsenault speaking about connections between Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Islands. Arsenault has explored links going as far back as 250 years when Islanders sailed to the Maggies to participate in the walrus hunt. His lecture is Thursday, February 23, at 7 pm in the Faculty Lounge of SDU Main Building.

In more recent times, when the Magdalen Islands were part of the Catholic Diocese of Charlottetown, many PEI priests served in the Maggies while priests from there were posted in Island parishes. Later, more than 30 young Acadian women from the Island studied at the Havre-aux-Maisons Normal School and came back home to teach, mainly in Acadian schools. Since the early 1900s, young people from the Maggies have been coming to work and study on the Island. In the last decade or so, the PEI Acadian and Francophone community has cooperated with the Magdalen Islands to develop projects in both the cultural and economic fields. Arsenault will explore the many connections that have been forged over the centuries between these insular communities.

A native of Abram-Village, Georges Arsenault lives in Charlottetown. He is the author of many publications on Acadian history and folklore and a well-known lecturer. He is the president of the Sister Antoinette DesRoches Historical Society. Georges was recently made a member of the Order of Canada. 

Admission to the lecture is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

Watch for details for another lecture about islands March 14. For more information, please contact Laurie at iis@upei.ca or (902) 894-2881.

The next OpenPages event highlights Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies by Dr. Ann Braithwaite. The reading and discussion is Wednesday evening March 1, at 7 pm in the new first-floor lounge of 精童欲女鈥檚 Robertson Library.

OpenPages features local authors speaking about their books: what inspired them, what they learned, and what they want to share. The public is warmly invited to this evening. Light refreshments will be served.

Dr. Ann Braithwaite is professor and coordinator of Diversity and Social Justice Studies at 精童欲女. She co-authored this new book with Dr. Catherine M. Orr, professor and chair of Critical Identity Studies at Beloit College.

Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies鈥� is a guide to engaging students in the challenges and pleasures of thinking critically about gender, race, and sex today. By focusing on 鈥渢he everyday,鈥� it speaks to the importance of students鈥� understanding the taken-for-granted circumstances of their daily lives. Everyday Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies explores the idea that 鈥減eople are different, and the world isn鈥檛 fair,鈥� and engages students in the inevitably complicated follow-up question: 鈥渘ow that we know, how shall we live?鈥�

鈥淭his publication is of great significance for students from any faculty, even though it is most likely going to have the greatest impact in the Faculty of Arts,鈥� said Dr. Nebojsa Kujundzic, dean of Arts at 精童欲女.
