University Cup 2025

Crazy the women have a 5th place game and consolation rounds..
If men’s hockey had this , I predict someone would die eventually
 
Biggest upset since 2004 UNB-Alberta?

I have to say us guys out east need to stop disrespecting the OUA….
 
The first 60 minutes wasn't all that bad, though not up to their usual selves.

That overtime was the worse I've seen UNB play in a long, long, long time.

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...
