AUS: Moncton nabs game three of MHKY quarterfinal, while UNB strikes first in WHKY final
The Moncton Aigles Bleus wouldn’t be in the playoffs in a “normal” season. They finished seventh, dead last, in the AUS men’s hockey standings in a COVID-crippled schedule. They won just once in their final nine regular-season games and were being counted out of a close conference playoff picture. But two weeks, three wins and a couple of Etienne Montpetit clinics later, Moncton is two … Continue reading AUS: Moncton nabs game three of MHKY quarterfinal, while UNB strikes first in WHKY final
AUS MHKY: Sumarah leads SMU to semis as Moncton force finale with Dalhousie
Halifax, NS – After the 11-goal barnburner Friday night at UPEI, it was strange to see the series morph into a defensive showdown. But as with his three regular-season starts in the second half of the AUS season, Justin Sumarah stole the show. This time, it was his playoffs coming out party. And it was a performance that sealed an AUS semifinal berth for the … Continue reading AUS MHKY: Sumarah leads SMU to semis as Moncton force finale with Dalhousie

AUS: Dal men’s hockey wins first postseason contest since 2004, while two games go to overtime in conference playoffs
Connor Welsh is in his fourth year with the Dalhousie Tigers. Shaun Miller is in his first. On Friday night, they had three things in common: they both play for Dal, they both scored, and they have both earned their first career AUS playoff wins, following the Tigers’ 4-3 advantage over the Moncton Aigles Bleus.

They made the difference. … Continue reading AUS: Dal men’s hockey wins first postseason contest since 2004, while two games go to overtime in conference playoffs
AUS WHKY: Semifinal matchups set as SMU’s star power leads them to victory
Across the AUS women’s hockey circuit Wednesday night, the top teams made statements with large-margin wins. The Saint Mary’s Huskies were no different, handling the Dalhousie Tigers with ease on the way to a 4-0 triumph. Dal kept it competitive through the first little bit in the game with some grade-A chances. But some early saves from Dagny Hudspeth in net set the tone for … Continue reading AUS WHKY: Semifinal matchups set as SMU’s star power leads them to victory
AUS MHKY: UNB, StFX heavily favoured as AUS men’s hockey playoffs get underway
AUS men’s hockey may be the most balanced, evenly-matched league in Atlantic Canada and arguably U SPORTS. Yet in playoffs, results for all but one team are anything but fair. That’s right, it’s time to break out the white towels and put away the shaving razors, it’s postseason time! The beard won’t have much time to grow very long though, as the conference has adopted … Continue reading AUS MHKY: UNB, StFX heavily favoured as AUS men’s hockey playoffs get underway
MHKY: Career games from unsung heroes help SMU deliver UNB upset
It’s safe to say the odds were stacked heavily against the Saint Mary’s Huskies after two periods on Feb. 26. They were down by a goal and outshot 36-14 by the best team in the country, the UNB Reds. The Huskies were keeping up on the scoreboard, but were no match for the Reds’ pace and pressure in the first 40 minutes. But what did … Continue reading MHKY: Career games from unsung heroes help SMU deliver UNB upset
AUS: Much intrigue into playoff structure, while StFX hockey teams looking scary
HALIFAX, NS – Week one of the AUS’ 2022 return is in the books. But before we know it, we’ll be through with the season as we have very short seasons and playoffs on the way. For instance, women’s hockey playoffs will have less than three weeks to hold playoffs before nationals kick off at UPEI on March 24. The regular season there ends March … Continue reading AUS: Much intrigue into playoff structure, while StFX hockey teams looking scary
