A Cinderella playoff run for the Brock Badgers has come to an end in Fredericton.
The Badgers men’s hockey team have been eliminated from the USPORTS University Cup after a heart breaking game today.
The Badgers were playing in the USPORTS Cavendish Farms University Cup National Championship and lost 6-2 to the St. Francis Xavier X-Men.
Brock was coached this year by Marty Williamson, a former Niagara IceDogs coach.
Williamson says the team shouldn’t be judged on 60 minutes, it’s the body of work they did this season and how they came together.
Because the USPORTS men’s hockey national championship is a single-game knockout, the Badgers will now have to watch from the sidelines as the tournament continues.
Quarter-final games continue until Friday night, with the semifinals set for Saturday and the medal round Sunday.
