Victory with Program’s First WCAC Metro Division Championship

On February 17, 2023, PVI Hockey faced off against Bishop Ireton at The Gardens Ice House in Laurel, Maryland for the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) Metro Division championship game. Despite having a 1-1 WCAC regular season record against Ireton, the team knew that securing a win would not be easy. The Panthers started strong with two quick goals, but then allowed four in a row. Nonetheless, the Panthers persisted and managed to tie the game. In the third period, an Ireton penalty resulted in a PVI penalty shot opportunity, which they capitalized on to take a 5-4 lead. With only 7 seconds remaining, PVI won the final faceoff and clinched the first ice hockey championship in school history, as well as the first championship of the 2022-2023 year for PVI.
