Overview
"Panthers" is the name of the sports teams of the University of Prince Edward Island which is located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. They are members of the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference and U Sports.
History
The University of Prince Edward Island came into being in 1969-70 following the merger of St. Dunstan's University and Prince of Wales College. The St. Dunstan's Saints had been competing since 1938-39 in the Maritime Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), which changed names in 1968-69 to the Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association (AIAA), in 1973-74 to the Atlantic Universities Athletic Association (AUAA), and finally in 1998-99 to the present AUS. There is no record in Wikia of the Prince of Wales Welshmen having competed in a university league. However, they do claim two PEI collegiate titles and a Charlottetown city title in the 1940s.
Over a 5 year period in the 1930s the PEI rivals who later merged played an annual series for the Wellner Trophy. After winning the trophy three times, St. Dunstan's University was allowed to keep the trophy.
