Corey Cup draws fans

The biggest crowd to watch a university hockey game in nearly 20 years — 5,345, most of them students — thrilled to the action in the glamorous Bell Centre on Sunday, Oct. 21, when the Concordia and McGill men’s hockey teams met for the 21st edition of the Corey Cup. The McGill Redmen won 3-1.

The exhibition game was organized by the athletic departments of both universities, and the Canadiens hockey organization made the venue available.
Stingers head coach Kevin Figsby told The Gazette he’d like to see the Corey Cup game played at the Bell Centre every year. The atmosphere was so exciting for the students, on the ice and off, that “today was the ultimate.”

The next away game in the regular men’s hockey season takes place Oct. 26 in Ottawa, and the next home game is Nov. 2 vs. UQTR.
