UNB Reds 2019–20

2019-20 was another extraordinary year for the UNB Reds

Although a portion of the season was cancelled because of COVID-19, the UNB Reds had a number of successes.

Highlights included:

• 131 student-athletes were named U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians for 2019-20. This is the largest class of Academic All-Canadians in REDS history and spread over 17 of the REDS 18 varsity level teams. This represents 51 per cent of the Reds’ 255 student-athletes who used U SPORTS eligibility last season.

• The Reds men’s hockey team won its third straight AUS title before a sell-out crowd of 3,374 at UNB's Aitken Centre. The Reds were the #1 seed and looking forward to defending its national title at the 2020 University Cup tournament scheduled for March 12-25, before it was cancelled.

• Reds swimmers earn 13 medals at AUS championships, including five gold. The Reds finished third in the women's standings and fourth on the men's side and in the combined team standings with Leah Smal and Noah Horwood qualifying to compete at the U SPORTS Championships.

• Reds Men’s Hockey head coach Gardiner MacDougall records 500th win in his illustrious career. MacDougall, in his 20th season behind the Reds bench, has coached UNB to 400 Atlantic University Sport regular season victories and 100 AUS playoff game and University Cup game wins.
