UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[UNB Bruins Fan]

So Larose can join the team after Christmas, or is he too old? I forget the 21st birthday rule.

Larose should be ok…but pretty sure Saigeon would have to wait a year as he is too old.

 

[AUS Fan]

Yes, 23 is too old. Plus he will lose 2 years of eligibility.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

I can't see Saigeon coming back.
With Larose, he had 4 points in 3 games with Tulsa (ECHL), 1 point in 4 games with San Diego (AHL). Pretty good stats, for such little games played.

Not looking good for the Pete Kelly Cup, I believe that Sports won't be permitted to play, due to new NB covid restrictions?

I'm hoping that this doesn't factor into the second half?

Sporting events can only be 50% capacity. Shouldn’t be an issue

Selling all sport passes to parents of women’s volleyball players is gonna end up screwing those out their who don’t have season tickets I would have to imagine .. I feel like this is why the attendance numbers often seem inflated .. Really glad I have one at the moment .

I don't know the rules in NB, but perhaps the fact that a Quebec team is coming to town may be a factor? In NS they currently allow "league" games but not tournaments. I also don't know the PEI rules, but they have been stringent in the past.

That’s right. McGill is supposed to be going to UPEI as well.

Pete Kelly canceled

 

[AUS Fan]

No surprise there. Too bad for both teams. I would not be shocked if the 2nd half was affected as well.

I would say it’s a good possibility.

 

[timbitca]

I'm hearing that OUA has pushed back or is thinking of pushing back to almost the end of January to start the 2nd half.

 

[Rob]

Heck. I’m starting to worry about Nationals now.

January 24th

Yes, but their only playing 20 games and Round 1 of the playoffs was a best of one, so they had some slack (not a lot but a bit) in the schedule.

Pete Kelly canceled

With the OUA suspending games to the end of January - McGill wasn’t allowed to come (plus the challenges of cross-provincial travel didn’t help)

 

[Aces89]

Yes, but their only playing 20 games and Round 1 of the playoffs was a best of one, so they had some slack (not a lot but a bit) in the schedule.

The whole playoffs is a knockout bracket. A true March Madness

 

[Hollywood3]

Yes, but their only playing 20 games and Round 1 of the playoffs was a best of one, so they had some slack (not a lot but a bit) in the schedule.

The OUA teams had 12 regular season games left. If they start on January 24th they'd be lucky to play 6 or 8 plus a single knockout playoff.

Nicolas Guay signs with Abbotsford Canucks

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

That's a major loss for UNB.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

He played last night I believe

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

Nicholas Guay's departure is will impact the Reds for sure.
They lose an elite recruit, impact player, who led the Reds with 25 points in 18 games played.
UNB is running streamlined, under the cap, since they didn't bring in any new additions for the second half.
Will more exit??

 

[Rob]

I’m watching to see if 4th year guys like Boland, Rassell and Dove-McFalls will stick around?

Boland's departure is crippling for the Reds, probably the best trigger man in the AUS and maybe Sports.
Guay and Boland, that's a lot of offence to lose!
