SEASON PREVIEW: UPEI Men鈥檚 Soccer Panthers eyeing rebound season in 2023

With a fresh start and outlook, the UPEI Panthers are looking ahead to bigger and better things in 2023.

It鈥檚 typically an annual tradition seeing the Panthers celebrate a postseason berth, but 2022 was an outlier, as the team finished the year with a 1-9-2 record and missed the playoffs for only the third time in a decade.

For players like Jonathan MacKenzie, who already experienced the thrill of playoff soccer, the drive to get back there and compete for a championship is a huge motivator.
