Reds win AUS Championship

Some congratulations are in order for a few former Halifax Mooseheads players. Herd alum Braeden MacPhee, 21, was in the lineup for the UNB Reds as the school won its eighth consecutive Atlantic University Sport hockey championship title on Thursday evening. The Reds picked up a 4-1 victory in Game 3 of the final series against the Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleus to win the series 2-1. MacPhee recorded an assist in six playoff games after picking up 20 points in 29 regular season games during his first season at university. Despite having an up and down regular season, UNB still found a way to lift the trophy last week.

Peter Reynolds, in his second year, has not played a game since mid-January. For the Aigles Bleus and veteran defenceman Denis Toner, who suited up for the Moose between 2018-2020, it is the third straight year that they have come up short in the championship series against UNB. 

In the OUA playoffs, alum Ethan Larmand scored for the Queen's Gaels in the Bronze medal game on Saturday afternoon to help them to a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Metropolitan Bold. Larmand, 22, had three points in 8 total playoff games. 

UNB, U de M and Queen's will all participate now in the 2026 University Cup tournament being held in Halifax March 19-22, hosted by the Saint Mary's Huskies.

Former Halifax Mooseheads captain Taylor Ford has announced the next journey in his hockey career. The 21-year-old will play the 2018-19 season with the McGill Redmen, Ford tweeted on Friday.

Taylor, a native of LaSalle, QC, was drafted by the Herd in 2013 but played his first season with the team during the 2014-15 season. Ford was named captain in his sophomore year, a position he held until the Moose traded him to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies during the Christmas trade period in 2017. In his 243 games played in the QMJHL, the young defenceman had 57 points, including 13 goals.


Good luck to Taylor in Montreal. The Redmen will start their regular season against Queen's University on October 5.
