WHKY: Concordia Stingers complete national championship run for the ages

HALIFAX, NS – The first U SPORTS Women’s Hockey Championship in two years was weird, wacky and wonderful. We’ve seen some strange milestones hit (when there weren’t any ice issues, anyway). Besides the first game of the tournament, all matchups ended in shutouts. That would be 10 straight for those counting, which is a tournament record. That broke the previous mark of nine, set in … Continue reading WHKY: Concordia Stingers complete national championship run for the ages

Charlottetown, PEI – “It’s our time. Why not us?” Sarah Hilworth’s message to her team, the UNB Reds, after the second period against the McGill Martlets could be summed up in those six words. That’s according to a postgame speech she gave to her squad, anyway. Either way, it was more than enough to spark a 5-4 comeback win in a shootout after being down … Continue reading U SPORTS WHKY Nationals Day 1: Overtime games required as UNB and Nipissing win first-ever nationals games

AUS MHKY: Overtime magic in Antigonish and a low-scorer at UNB, as top teams take series openers

HALIFAX, NS – The AUS men’s hockey semifinals didn’t kick off with the offensive fireworks seen in the quarterfinals, but the results of two defensive-dominated games were just as enthralling. In one game, Matthew Philip of the Saint Francis Xavier X-Men jumped on a loose puck in the crease 5:04 into overtime to seal a 2-1 victory over the Saint Mary’s Huskies. It was Philip’s … Continue reading AUS MHKY: Overtime magic in Antigonish and a low-scorer at UNB, as top teams take series openers
