The Panthers headed east along the 401 to face the Eastern Conference–leading Trenton Golden Hawks, and as is often the case when two evenly matched teams meet, special teams proved to be the difference. Three of the five goals scored came on the power play, with another added just ten seconds after a man advantage […]
The Oakville Blades visited the Den for the Panthers’ second game of the weekend. The opening period was relatively quiet, with neither team able to generate a goal.

Pickering held a 4-2 lead over the Wellington Dukes heading into the third period, but a stretch of four consecutive minor penalties in the opening ten minutes put heavy pressure on the Panthers’ penalty kill and allowed Wellington to control play in the Pickering zone. The sustained pressure paid off, as the Dukes scored two […]
This game had all the makings of a playoff matchup, and it lived up to the billing with fast-paced, hard-hitting hockey between two evenly matched teams.

Pickering wasted no time in this one, as Jack Dean scored just 18 seconds into the game.

The Panthers poured it on early in the second, scoring three […]
The long bus trip to Collingwood once again proved difficult for the Panthers, as they dropped a 4-1 decision to the Blues in their first loss of 2026.

It took a little time for the Panthers to find their legs following the Christmas break, but once they did, they looked dominant. Pickering led 1-0 after the opening period and 3-0 after two, then exploded for five more goals in the third to secure an emphatic 8-0 victory. Veterans Charlie Key and Matt Indovina […]
