The University of New Brunswick's men's hockey team, the Reds, has won ALL of their 30 regular season games, plus all 13 games in the playoff series. In the cup final of best of 3 games The Reds scored 15 goals and did not allow ANY goals by their opponent team. A total season with NO losses.
I bet the NHL scouts have been attending some of the UNB hockey games, this year. It is all ways said that you need good goalies to win championships in any league. In Canada Universities do NOT offer sports scholarships to students, only academic scholarships. So playing University sports in Canada is not the breeding ground that the US colleges are for the NFL NBA and MLB. I expect some of the UNB hockey players are going to be offered NHL entry level contracts soon. JimB.
