2023 University Cup

[902RedIslander]

They got their moneys worth. UdeM with the 4-3 2OT win.

UNB-UdeM and SMU-ACA in the semis.

Well at least we're sure on the 8th seed now

Your bracket is busted with CON sweeping MCG.

Nice attendance at the game tonight.

Trois Rivieres vs Concordia may be an interesting matchup. 3606 in Thunder Bay last night.

 

[AUS Fan]

In CW, CAL over UofS. Series tied at 1-1.

UBC over UofA for a 1-0 lead.


In OUA, TOR @ LAK, game 3, UQTR @ CAR and BRO @ WSR.

UQTR and WSR lead 1-0.

Trois Rivieres vs Concordia may be an interesting matchup. 3606 in Thunder Bay last night.

UQTR has to beat CAR 1st.
I was referring to the LAK game attendance.
Contrast that with BRO crowd of 150 family and friends.

 

[AUS Fan]

LAK moves on to face WSR in the OUA West while UQTR and CON meet in OAU East.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

LAK moves on to face WSR in the OUA West while UQTR and CON meet in OAU East.

We’ll see at least two new OUA teams this year with 2022 participants Ryerson/TMU and Brock getting eliminated.

 

[AUS Fan]

In CW, CAL with a 6-1 win over UofS to win that series. They will host the winner of UBC-UofA which is going to game 3 Sunday after a 4-3 win by UofA.

Alberta overcomes 2-0 deficit halfway through the game to rally for the win. PP’s the big story…Bears 3/6 and UBC 0/5.

Are you gloing to PEI if the 'Wolves are there?

Alberta punches their ticket to the University Cup.
This has been rebuilding season for the Golden Bears!
They had a deep team in 2021-22 with AHL Caliber players like Noah Philip (6'3" Right Shot Centre who is 2nd in FWD Goals and EVS Goals in Bakersfield) last season and came up a bounce short in the U Cup final.
As many of you remember Bears crushed Acadia 7-0, blew out X 7-3 before losing 5-4 in Double OT to UQTR in a game in which they outshot Les Patriotes 70-40.
This season has been a grind for the Golden Bears.
Calgary and UBC have lengthy winning streaks in the Canada West and Mount Royal had some higher end skill.
Bears though survived a rapidly-improving UBC squad who are far deeper now than in seasons past...but didn't have the stellar goaltending of Rylan Toth.

 

[AUS Fan]

3 of 8 spots filled for PEI with ALB and CAL in CW final and UPEI hosting.

AUS will add 2 by Friday (at the latest) and OUA will have 2 by Sunday (or sooner) after their Conference finals. Last spot will go to OUA bronze winner.

 

[AUS Fan]

And then there were 4.

Add SMU to the list of teams who will be on the Island in 2 weeks.

In the AUS, UNB-UdeM play Wed night with UNB having a 2-1 edge. AUS final probably won't go until Monday??

CON-UQTR and LAK-WSR begin thier best-of-3 Conference finals Wed night.

We can look at possible seeding after the weekend when CW is resolved and OUA is close to being done.

 

[AUS Fan]

UNB joins the list of teams for PEI.

Waiting on the OUA reps.

CON with a solid 5-1 road win over UQTR and WSR with an equally good 4-0 win at home over LAK.

WSR goes to LAK for 2 games Fri-Sat while CON plays home-and-away Fri and Sun.

CW goes Fri-Sun with CAL hosting ALB.

CON with a solid 5-1 road win over UQTR

CW goes Fri-Sun with CAL hosting ALB.

CON over UQTR (on the road) - I wouldn't have picked that.

I have no idea about CAL/ALB. Given their relative close proximity - will this be @ CAL for all three games or CAL/ALB/CAL?

At Calgary for all three games.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Alberta come out on top.

Thinking way ahead here…but if UQTR has to settle for bronze (and 7th/8th at the UCup), that’s going to be a real tough first game for someone (possibly the AUS champion).

CAL lost 2 exhibition games to ALB in Sept then won both games in regular season.

They had a weird schedule. Played UBC, SASK, MAN, MRU, MAC and REG 4 times but ALB and TWU 2 times.

Yikes! Had that same thought also!!

 

[AUS Fan]

LAK with a 2-1 OT win over WSR. Game 3 goes Sat night to see who hosts Queen's Cup.

UQTR ties their series with a 5-3 win. Game 3 Sunday at UQTR.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

LAK with a 2-1 OT win over WSR. Game 3 goes Sat night to see who hosts Queen's Cup.

3728 at the game tonight…probably that many or more for game 3…they truly have the best fans in U Sports hockey.
