University Cup 2025

I have to say us guys out east need to stop disrespecting the OUA….
Absolutely…especially in a single elimination situation. The gap between the OUA and the other conferences has shrunk considerably the last 3-4 years.

UNB’s “best team ever” played Ottawa last year, and granted it was early in the pre-season, it was a one goal game.
 
Very wild - 12 periods of hockey on day 1 and 2 upset winners (TMU likely more than not would have considered them an underdog against MRU and Ottawa obviously a massive underdog against UNB).
 
Moncton is winning to avenge new brunswick
Every time I go to Moncton I debate buying an Aigles hat because I have an absurd hat collection … I never do because I decide it’s sacrilegious….

Maybe I should have , I could have worn it for 3 days!

Someone teach me the lyrics to that amazing “fight song” they play after the anthem !

Women’s game is at a much more suitable facility .

I was looking at rinks around Ottawa to see what would be more suitable but everything in Ottawa proper is far too big or small, some nice Junior.A level facilities 30-45 mins out of town.
I still don't understand why USports insists on these larger venues for UCup. The women's tournament is at a Jr B facility (although the GOJHL definitely functions like a Jr A league), and although the rink in Elmira is a 20-ish min drive from Waterloo's campus, the atmosphere was outstanding last night. Turns out, a thousand people in a 1300-seat rink sound better than they do in a 5000-seat rink. Who knew?

Also...doesn't hurt that the tournament pass is about 50% cheaper...
