If the Panthers didn’t understand the coach’s message about the importance of staying out of the penalty box, they do now, as the Stouffville Spirit’s only two goals of the game came on first-period power plays. Pickering took six penalties in the first to Stouffville’s two. Those goals were all the Spirit needed for a […]
The first period looked a lot like play in the previous game, where the first goal might win the game. Stouffville got the first at the 14-minute mark on a PP. However, Pickering responded with one of their own as Angelo Protopapas tied it up with just 1.5 seconds remaining in the first period. That […]
This was a fast, close-checking and hard-hitting game that saw only one goal scored, but it ended up being the game winner. Period one was a pretty even affair, but the Panthers got into trouble in period two, taking nine penalties. At one point, they were down five men to three for nearly two full […]
Game 2 saw the Panthers back home to take on the Stouffville Spirit minus two regular defensemen who were injured the night before. Jake Mallory opened the scoring on the PP, stuffing the puck in the net from a goalmouth scramble for his 3rd of the playoffs. Marco Costante made it 2-0 six minutes later […]
The Panthers had a game plan and they played it to perfection in Game 1 in Stouffville – pressure the Spirit to disrupt their breakouts, take advantage of opportunities and rely on Anthony Sciere to do his thing in net. Pickering relied on secondary scoring in this game from Ty Robar, Jack Dean and Evan […]

When the Pickering Panthers needed stability down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs, Anthony Sciere delivered exactly that. The veteran goaltender has been a steady presence in the Panthers’ net all season, but his play has elevated even further as the games have taken on greater importance. From late-season battles for […]
Kyle Kavc was traded from the Wellington Dukes to the Pickering Panthers in late October and all he did last night was score the only two goals of the game, sticking it to his former team. Kavc had four regular season goals for the Panthers, but now has three in the four playoff games played. […]
