As the story goes; one evening at dinner with Gabe (Accardi), the subject of Warrior Hockey came up and Gabe’s plans of starting a Warrior program here. Dr. Cunha could not be more excited to hear this news. The Flyers had started a Warrior team a few months back and Dr. Cunha was very aware of the new Warrior program and was even more excited to be a part of the Panthers Warriors. We are excited to have him as part of our Board!
