Defending champ Alberta seeded No. 1 for University Cup
March 23, 2009
THUNDER BAY, Ont. (CIS) - The defending CIS men's hockey champion Alberta Golden
Bears are the tournament favourites heading into the 2009 Cavendish University
Cup, presented by TBaytel.
Official website: www.universitysport.ca/e/championships/m_hockey/2009
The 2009 CIS championship, hosted by Lakehead University at the Fort William
Gardens, gets under way Thursday with the first of three days of round-robin
action and culminates Sunday at 2 p.m. with the presentation of the national
final.
Rogers Sportsnet will broadcast Saturday's two round-robin duels and Sunday's
gold-medal final, while SSN Canada will webcast all seven games from the championship.
Joining the top-seeded Golden Bears and the tournament host Thunderwolves (No.
6) in Thunder Bay this week are the No. 2 Saint Mary's Huskies (AUS champions),
No. 3 Western Ontario Mustangs (OUA champions), No. 4 UNB Varsity Reds (AUS
Finalists) and No. 5 McGill Redmen (OUA finalists).
Alberta, UNB and Lakehead will battle in Pool A in the preliminary round, while
Saint Mary's, Western and McGill make up Pool B. The first-place finishers will
meet for CIS gold on Sunday.
Saint Mary's and McGill kick of the championship Thursday at 2 p.m., while
Alberta opens its title defence at 7 p.m. against UNB, in a rematch of last
year's final.
The Bears, who added a 13th University Cup to their record tally a last winter
with a 3-2 gold-medal win over the top-ranked V-Reds, were the last team to
capture the CIS title as the No. 1 seed, back in 2006. Alberta holds most University
Cup marks including all-time titles (13), appearances (33rd in 2009), finals
(17), games played (86), wins (58), losses (26), goals for (399) and goals against
(257).
UNB was crowned in 2007 and 1998, Western claimed its lone CIS banner in 2002,
while Saint Mary's, McGill and host Lakehead are all looking for their first
taste of CIS men's hockey gold.

à 14h avec la présentation de la finale canadienne.
Rogers Sportsnet télédiffusera les deux duels de samedi de même
que la finale de dimanche, alors que SSN Canada web diffusera les sept rencontres

Redmen have as good a chance as any to win CIS title
Mar. 23, 2009
THUNDER BAY, Ont. (CIS) – While defending national champion Alberta has
been seeded No. 1 and the OUA East champion McGill Redmen have been seeded No.
5 for the upcoming 47th University Cup tournament, all six head coaches agree
this could be one of the most closely-contested CIS men’s hockey championships
in recent years.
Championship website: www.universitysport.ca/e/championships/m_hockey/2009
The 2009 Cavendish University Cup, presented by TBaytel, gets under way Thursday
at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay with the round-robin portion and
culminates Sunday at 2 p.m. with the presentation of the national final.
Rogers Sportsnet will broadcast Saturday’s two round-robin duels and Sunday’s
gold-medal final, while SSN Canada will webcast all seven games from the tournament.
Joining the top-seeded Golden Bears this week in the quest for the CIS banner
are the No.2-Saint Mary’s Huskies (AUS champions), No.3-Western Ontario
Mustangs (OUA champions), No.4-UNB Varsity Reds (AUS Finalists), No.5-McGill
Redmen (OUA finalists) and the host Lakehead Thunderwolves, seeded sixth.
Alberta, UNB and Lakehead will battle in the Pool A preliminary round, while
Saint Mary’s, Western and McGill make up Pool B. The first-place finishers
will meet for CIS gold on Sunday.
Saint Mary’s and McGill kick off the championship Thursday at 2 p.m.,
with Western set to face the losers of that match-up Friday afternoon and the
winners on Saturday.
In Pool A, Alberta opens its title defence Thursday at 7 p.m. against UNB,
in a rematch of last year’s final won 3-2 by the Bears. Lakehead will take
on the losers Friday night and the winners Saturday evening.
“It’s anybody’s tournament and with this type of format, you
need great goaltending right from the beginning,” said fourth-year Alberta
head coach Eric Thurston. “It’s the sort of situation where you can’t
sit back and feel your way into the game because it’s a ‘Game 7’
do-or-die scenario, right from the opening puck drop.”
Thurston, the third coach in history to lead his team to a national title in
his first two trips to the University Cup tournament (2006, 2008), knows a thing
or two about tight CIS tourneys and great goaltending on the national stage.
Last year in Moncton, the Bears overcame an opening-day 2-1 loss in overtime
to the host Aigles Bleus and received a 40-save performance from all-Canadian
netminder Aaron Sorochan in the gold-medal final against UNB to become the first
team in history to capture the University Cup after dropping a round-robin game.
“When you see the parity and the level of competition at this tournament…
both of the pools are groups of death,” added Thurston.
The Bears are the only team in the field that hasn’t faced one of the
other Cup contenders this season.
The Huskies and Varsity Reds met eight times overall in 2008-09 with Saint
Mary’s prevailing on five occasions, including a 2-1 series win in the
AUS final.
The Huskies also split two games with Lakehead in pre-season action.
The T-Wolves won their head-to-head regular-season series with Western, three
matches to one.
The ‘Stangs edged McGill by one goal, 2-1, in the single-game OUA Queen’s
Cup final.
“The six teams all look as if they have the potential to walk away with
the Cup,” said second-year Lakehead head coach Don McKee. “The OUA
proved its depth this year as top-ranked Laurier and Trois-Rivières did
not make it through to the national championship. Similarly, Saint Mary’s
showed the AUS strength by upsetting UNB. And since the West presently owns
the Cup, they are not going to be very generous in relinquishing it to any teams
in the East.”
“Look for low-scoring games with lots of overtime, and lots of physical
play,” added McKee, who was named CIS coach of the year back in 1989-90
when he was at Waterloo and led the Warriors to the national final in 1996.
“I think that UNB, Alberta and Saint Mary’s would be favourites given
the type of year each team has had and their respective national ranking heading
into the playoffs,” offered 10th-year Western head coach Clarke Singer,
who led the Mustangs to the lone CIS title in team history in 2002. “Lakehead
is outstanding in their rink anytime of the year and McGill and ourselves, we
both have very young teams that have probably surprised many prognosticators
with our finishes.”
Championship host Lakehead was 17-7 overall at the Fort William Gardens in
2008-09, including a sweep of arch-rival Western – 5-1 and 4-3 in OT –
on the last weekend of the regular season, on Feb. 13-14.
Top-ranked Alberta will compete at the University Cup for an astounding 12th
time in 13 years and for the 33rd time since the inaugural championship in 1962-63,
one of the many tournament records held by the Bears.
Alberta, the last team to capture the CIS title as the No. 1 seed back in 2006,
holds the all-time marks for most titles (13), appearances (33rd in 2009), finals
(17), games played (86), wins (58), losses (26), goals for (399) and goals against
(257).
The Bears enjoyed yet another stellar season in 2008-09, topping 13 of 14 national
media polls, finishing first in the Canada West standings with a 22-4-2 record
and dominating arch-rival Saskatchewan, 5-2 and 7-0, in the league final to
claim the conference banner.
Saint Mary’s went 20-7-1 in conference play to finish four points back
of UNB in the AUS standings, despite a 3-1 edge in the head-to-head regular-season
series. The Huskies resumed their success against the V-Reds in the conference
final, bouncing back from a 5-1 loss in the opener, with 3-2 and 5-1 victories,
respectively, to capture their first AUS title since 2001-02.
“I believe with a few bounces and the fact that our guys have an ability
to bring their best game when it counts, we can play with the best and beat
anyone,” said 12th-year Saint Mary’s head coach Trevor Stienburg,
who won back-to-back Father George Kehoe memorial awards as CIS coach of the
year in 1999 and 2000.
One of those players who seems to bring his best game every night is senior
left-winger Marc Rancourt, who was named AUS MVP after he claimed the CIS scoring
crown with 57 points. He added an AUS-leading 10 points in seven playoff outings.
UNB has been almost as dominating as Alberta in recent years, competing at
five of the past seven University Cups and reaching the national final the last
two seasons, including a 3-2 overtime win over Moncton in 2007 for the second
title in team history.
The V-Reds, who dethroned Alberta in the last national Top 10 media poll of
the campaign on February 17, started slowly this season after setting AUS records
with 26 wins and 53 points a year ago. They lost four of their first eight conference
outings but went 17-3 the rest of the way to finish atop the Atlantic league.
UNB took care of Acadia in two games in the AUS semifinals before being stopped
by Saint Mary’s.
“We are honoured to be able to represent the Atlantic conference for the
third consecutive season,” said Gardiner MacDougall, in his ninth campaign
as UNB’s bench boss. “Our team has a lot to prove and we look forward
to the challenge of being the best that we can be when it counts the most.”
The three OUA squads that will compete in Thunder Bay this week couldn’t
have been any closer in the standings. Western (19-7-2) tallied 40 points over
the 28-game schedule while McGill and Lakehead collected 38 points apiece after
finishing with identical 18-8-2 records.
The OUA champion Mustangs really got things going in the second half of the
season, winning 13 of their last 16 outings before going 7-1 in the playoffs,
including a 2-1 win over McGill for their first Queen’s Cup title since
2004-05.
The Redmen also caught fire in the second half of the campaign, winning 18
of their last 23 conference duels after an 0-5 start before reaching the OUA
final for the third time in four years.
“It’s our third appearance in four years at the Nationals and we’re
as hungry as can be,” said Martin Raymond, a former all-Canadian forward
at McGill and now in his 14th season as head coach of the Redmen. “We’re
very young but have a group of strong skaters who move the puck well. We are
a bit under-sized so we have to take advantage of our speed to counteract the
larger, more experienced teams.”
“It looks like the competition in this tournament will be as fierce as
ever, so we will need to commit to solid defence and get strong goaltending
in order to give ourselves a chance.”
