Aigles Bleus to Host Reds in Hockey this Friday

The Université de Moncton's Aigles Bleus won't have an easy task to recover from Wednesday's loss as they host the University of New Brunswick Reds on Friday at 7 p.m. at the J.-Louis-Lévesque Arena on the Moncton campus in an Atlantic University Sport men's hockey game.

The Reds (7-1-0-0=14pts,1st position) suffered their first loss of the season last weekend and the Aigles (2-6-1-0=5pts, 7th position) head coach, Judes Vallée, is well aware of this fact as he prepares to face them with a roster decimated by injuries. The Reds were 3-0 winners in the only other game between the two teams in the first game of the regular season.

“It's clear that we have to get back to our basic game,” Vallée said ahead of the game. “It is important that our players eliminate the intense pressure of playing against other teams. We have ups and downs and our special units have to find a way to perform well. We have to get back on our feet against the Reds.”

The Reds scored 26 goals in 8 games and allowed 12 against 17 scored and 38 allowed for the Blue and Gold. Some players will likely miss the game due to injuries, but a final decision will be made on Friday depending on their condition.

Spectators are admitted to Friday's game. However, the mask and proof of vaccination is required.
