FREDERICTON – Good morning from a sunny and warm Freddy
Beach. It’s felt like Orlando here for the past few days.
Hopefully the Aitken University Centre will be nice and
cool as the 2012 University Cup kicks off this afternoon. The first game
begins at 2pm with Alexandre Picard-Hooper and the McGill Redmen taking on
Keven Charland, Charles Bergeron and the Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleus.
Later today at 7pm, Travis Fullerton and the University
of New Brunswick Varsity Reds face the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières
Patriotes. Although he isn’t listed on the team’s website, the CHL says former
Sea Dog Olivier Ouellet plays for UQTR. We’ll see.
The QMJHL website had an article on Fullerton yesterday. The Times & Transcript also had an article on the UNB goaltender.
“I think it was a great learning experience in a lot of
ways,” Fullerton said of his time in the Q, where he played with Saint John and
the Lewiston Maineiacs. “It’s an excellent league, one of the best in Canada.
When you play against the best players you’re naturally going to develop and
rise to the occasion.”
We’ll have coverage of the tournament all week. Check out
UNB Hockey Fans for more.
Also of note, last night at The Playhouse,
former Sea Dog Michael Kirkpatrick was named to the CIS All-Rookie team.
Kirkpatrick was named the AUS Rookie of the Year a couple of weeks ago.
