2024-2025 AUS Thread

I wouldn't say cemented. All that has been settled mathematically is that Dal cannot overtake UNB for first place, so UNB has clinched a playoff spot

With the loss of players to the FISU I anticipate UNB losing a couple of games in January. An 11 point lead is too large for the second place teams to overcome though.

Not really sure where to post this… Holy crap does the name “U Sports” make searching twitter etc difficult … To see everything you need to search “U Sports hockey” , “Usports Hockey” and “USport hockey”…. Did you mean “e-sports hockey?”…
Rant for the day

Somers will get lots of playing time, I wouldn't worry about a loss or two.

I just typed "usport hockey" and got lots of links including Elite Prospects where they have a whole section on CIS hockey with loads of stats.

I just saw that on your original post. English is not my 1st language and I flunked in reading comprehension.
USports Hockey on Xwitter yields very little and most posts have no comments.

Wishing all the AUS folks a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and whatever else you celebrate, or don't.

“World Junior Eve” , the day before Canadians spend countless hours watching teenage boys play hockey !

Any wild predictions out there for the second half? Or much of the same?

Battle for 2nd is a toss up IMO. I have no idea who will be the victor there...very tight and will be interesting down the stretch for sure. Gonna go with UNB and SMU with first round byes

I think ACA has the edge over UPEI. Much of the same from DAL unfortunately

Agree that ACA will finish ahead of UPEI. Already 6 points ahead and UPEI will be missing their coach and 2 players for 5 games. UNB has a comfortable lead despite some folks thinking they'll lose 10 of the next 5. I wouldn't count SFX out as a bye team. Also, can't count UdeM out. I'll wait over the next 4-5 games and see how it works out.

I was going to post on the ACA-DAL game last night, but I'll just say that DAL looked lost for most of the game. They did score twice in the final minutes, something that ACA needs to clean up. I know they were up 8-1.
