V-Reds Add Geordie Wudrick To Forward Ranks
This morning the V-Reds announced that former Kelowna Rockets sniper Geordie Wudrick will be joining the V-Reds after Christmas. At 6'4, 214 lbs Wudrick brings more size to the UNB lineup. Let's also hope he brings the same scoring touch that saw him register 43 goals in 71 games last season in the WHL.
Wudrick had been playing pro in Germany this fall with the Rosenheim Star Bulls in Germany where he put up 3 goals and 6 assists in 14 games. He has already played a game against CIS opponents, back in September he scored a goal and added an assist in an exhibition game against the CW's 2nd place Manitoba Bisons.
Welcome to UNB, Geordie!

UNB turns 3rd period into short-handed explosion
In a game that will be rehashed for some time, UNB found themselves down 3-0 after two periods against the STU Tommies, only to score FOUR short-handed goals and an even strength one to win 5-3.
The LBR was packed with fans from both teams, and both sets of fans saw STU score three goals on seven shots over two periods. The third period is one that STU would love to forget. Jonathon Harty had a pair of short handed goals, Tyler Carroll had a short handed goal, Dion Campbell had the game winner (Even strength), and then Luke Gallant scored on the empty net short handed as the STU fans saw their team implode in the third period. Final shots were 44-17 for UNB.
Has anyone ever heard of FOUR short-handed goals in one period in CIS hockey? Or any hockey for that matter.
These two teams are at it again next weekend for the last regular season game of the year.

174th Battle of the Hill goes tonight!
Tonight, the CIS #1 ranked UNB V-Reds (9-2-1) travel down the hill to face the AUS #7 STU Tommies (3-8-1) at 7pm at the Lady Beaverbrook Rink in the 174th Battle of the Hill.
There are many numbers that can be used to give the V-Reds better odds at winning this game:
- UNB is currently on a 27 game winning streak over STU.
- UNB is currently on a 10 game winning streak over STU at the LBR.
- The last time STU beat UNB in a regular season game was Oct. 20, 2006 at the York Arena.
- In last season's four regular season meetings, UNB outscored STU 21-3 and outshot them by an average margin of 44-20.
- No member of the current roster for UNB has ever lost to STU
None of these numbers mean anything on game day.
The V-Reds are sitting on top of the AUS and CIS right now, but are only (2-2-1)in their last five games. The V-reds are coming off a hard fought 2-1 victory over the CIS #3 ranked UdeM Aigles Bleues (9-3-0) and will be looking to maintain that momentum at they face the Tommies. The V-Reds are led in points by Kyle Bailey (9G 9A) and Luke Gallant (2G 12A).
The Tommies are a team rebuilding after last year’s last place finish. The Tommies have already tallied as many wins this season as last year, and have lost by only one goal 4 times this regular season. The Tommies are coming off of a 6-3 loss to the UPEI Panthers (7-5-0), and will look to defeat the V-Reds to get back on the winning track. The Tommies are led in points by Randy Cameron (8G 4A) and Felix Poulin (2G 10A).
Come down to the LBR and cheer on your UNB V-Reds as they look to win the Battle of the Hill!

V-Reds Downed In Shoot-out 6-5 By Acadia
The V-Reds and Axemen battled back and forth all evening, playing 70 full minutes before turning things over to a shoot-out. In the end the Acadia Axemen pulled off the win. Scoring for UNB were Luke Gallant, Jon Harty, Thomas Nesbitt, Nick MacNeil, and Bretton Stamler. Shots on goal were pretty even, 31 for UNB, 30 for Acadia.
Dan Lacosta started in goal, but left after the 1st period with the score 2-1 Acadia. Matt Davis took over and played the remainder of the game.
The loss leaves the V-Reds with 3 of a possible 4 points on this road trip to Nova Scotia. Perhaps some small consolation to V-Reds fans is the reminder that the team went 0-2 last season, being outscored 9-5, including a tough 6-3 lost to Dal last November 27.
UNB remains in 1st place in the AUS with 17 points, 1 point ahead of U de M.

V-Reds take on the Tigers and Axemen this weekend
This weekend, the CIS #1 ranked V-Reds (7-1-0) are on the road, travelling to Halifax tonight to take on the Dalhousie Tigers (2-7-0), and then on to Wolfville on Saturday night to do battle with the CIS #10 ranked Acadia Axemen (4-3-1).
The V-Reds were once again voted the top team in the country in this week’s media poll, receiving 15 of 17 possible first place votes. The V-Reds have now been ranked #1 for the last 15 national polls, dating back to January 11, 2011 and have topped 47 of the last 69 polls (.681) since 2006-07.
Tonight, the V-Reds arrive in Halifax to play the Tigers at 7pm. The V-Reds will be looking to get back on the winning track after suffering their first defeat of the regular season, a 5-4 loss to UPEI (4-4-0) last Saturday night. The last meeting between these two teams saw the V-Reds dismantle the Tigers, the final score being 10-1. UNB is led in scoring by Kyle Bailey (6G 5A) and Luke Gallant (1G 10A).
The Tigers are not off to a great start this season, and will both be looking to avenge the lopsided defeat that the V-Reds handed them last game, and to start winning games after losing the last six in a row. The Tigers are led in scoring by Benjamin Breault (5G 5A) and David MacDonald (1G 5A).
Saturday night Axemen will host for the V-Reds at the Acadia arena at 7pm. The Axemen still boast the best power play in the AUS (27.1%), along with a defense (23.38 shots allowed / game) that is second only to UNB (19 shots allowed / game). The Axemen are led in scoring by Andrew Clark (6G 7A) and Christopher Owens (3G 8A).
Both games are available as webcasts; the Tigers webcast, and the Axemen webcast. You can also follow UNBHockey on Twitter.

V-Reds Suffer First Loss of Season, 5-4 to Panthers
The V-Reds had an off-night and ended up on the wrong side of a 5-4 game against the UPEI Panthers. Scoring for UNB were Jordan Clendenning, Josh Kidd, Jon Harty, and Luke Gallant. UNB thought they had another goal, but the ref blew the whistle before the puck crossed the line.
Matt Davis played the game in goal and made a few good saves with the game close to give his team a chance, but it just wasn't meant to be on this night . Final shots were 43-27 UNB.
The loss leaves UNB in 1st place with a 7-1 record. UNB plays Dalhousie in Halifax next Friday before visiting Acadia on Saturday.

V-Reds Move to 7-0 With 6-3 Win Vs. UdeM
Lead by a balanced offensive attack, the V-Reds continued their winning ways with a strong effort against the 2nd place Aigles Bleus. Scoring for UNB were Dion Campbell, Bretton Stamler, Kyle Bailey with two, Chris Culligan, and Jeff Lee.
