U of Calgary men, U of T women enter University Cup hockey tournaments on top

The Calgary Dinos' playoff run to the men's hockey Canada West (CW) title wasn't quite as spotless as their regular season.

A regular season that included a record 23-game winning streak, but a pair of 2-1 series wins over the Saskatchewan Huskies and Alberta Golden Bears was more than enough to secure the No. 1 seed in this weekend's 2023 University Cup.

Moncton was dispatched in a four-game series by the eventual AUS champion UNB Reds, who enter the tournament as the third-seed, drawing the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) bronze medallist Concordia Stingers in a Thursday quarterfinal matchup.

Last year's U Sports champion Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) Patriotes earned the No. 2 seed in the tournament after taking down Concordia in the OUA semis before topping the Windsor Lancers in the Queen's Cup thanks to Felix Lauzon's triple-OT winner.
