The Pandas hockey team is one with the most storied history in western conference. Of a possible 19 Canada West Conference titles, the Pandas have claimed 12. They have 7 National titles which is the most of any single school. Each year, the women’s game at the various universities across Canada grows more competitive and shows greater depth of talent.
This year, and this year’s Pandas, are no different. Some of the Pandas were introduced in Pandas Profiles 2016-2017 Part 1, but here are some more talented players. All answers come from the Pandas themselves.
