►UNB captures CIS University Cup: The #1-seeded University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds claimed their third title in five years by shutting out the #2 McGill Redmen on Sunday night by a count of 4-0. Among the champions is 2010 Canadiens’ development and rookie camp attendee Marc-Antoine Desnoyers, who began his season with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL and Peoria Rivermen of the AHL before joining the V-Reds. He totaled a goal and four assists in 15 regular-season contests and two goals, two assists over the course of the playoffs.

About the Author (Author Profile)
czechtacular (aka Kathy) is the former follower of a single team, whose interests still are and will always be number one in her book (she does write at All HABS, after all!) but making the jump to junior hockey in 2005 has resulted in, well, quite frankly, a mess that no one will ever be able to understand all at once.
