2020 - 2021 AUS Thread

I wonder how many players teams are expected to lose this summer?

I noticed St. FX posted a tweet recognizing their graduating players - Robertson, Laishram, Centorame, and Graham.

UPEI did the same for Headrick and Blaisdell.

Did the AUStv archive disappear? I don’t see it anymore..

FISU games 2021
Any idea who will represent Canada, in the 2021 FISU games? AUS/OUA/CanadaWest?
Games are to take place Dec 11-21, in Switzerland.
USA hockey has announced that the Northeastern University (Hockey East) will represent the country in both Mens and Women's hockey.
This is the first time that I can remember an NCAA (Div 1) team involved, as usually the players come from Div 111 teams.

Maybe they want to win instead of always losing.

Per Twitter, Kelly Bent (ex-DAL) has signed with Kansas City Mavericks of ECHL.

Was he not interested in being the full time HC at McGill or is the Moosehead job a better fit or move?

I would guess Major Junior is a better stepping stone to the Show than CIS. Just my opinion, so don't mention Babcock.

Back in May they appointed a head coach, Heelis was temporary, as stated by Campy on the Recruiting thread.

AUS has the men's hockey schedule up.

I'm guessing there probably will be no exhibition games to the US this year. Maybe to the OUA at least?

Pete Kelly Cup SASK vs UNB?

As much as I would love that, I just can’t see it happening.

Per John Moore Twitter: Varsity hockey will return to the Dal campus after a 10 yr hiatus. The Board of Directors has voted in favour of a Dalhousie Event Centre inc/ an NHL size ice surface. Completion date fall of 2023. Great addition to student life and the community.

That's even better news than the Habs being 1 game away from the Stanley Cup Finals.

While it does have it's charms I don't think anyone will miss going to the Forum.

So they are going to tuck it in there in the former spot? which I thought LeMarchant Place was built on, guess I was wrong, but to put it in there beside LeMarchant, ...going to be a bit of a tight squeeze isn't it? Unless they are going to take from Wickwire Field, or Studley Gym maybe?

 

[AUS Fan]

From what I read it's going in the same spot as the old rink. I haven't been near DAL since the rink came down, so I don't really know where LeMarchant Place ended up.

Good riddance to the old Forum. That place just had a dreadful atmosphere. Especially with only 100 people for a Dal game.

Just to the right of the old rink, which was turned into a parking lot with a gate, remember the lane you took out of the Rink parking in front of the door? well on the far side between the parking lot and Lemarchant Street, is where they put LeMarchant place. So they're are going to put it back where it was, but it looks awfully tight, what do I know?

This was "assumed" for months and now it's official.

Is UPEI hosting in 2023? Or did I imagine that?

I think that was the plan. They are hosting the women this upcoming year and then the men in 2023. Not sure if it has been confirmed yet though?
