With two goals and three assists in three playoff games, Dove-McFalls was named the AUS playoff MVP.
The 24-year-old is in his fourth season at UNB (including last year's cancelled campaign). He recorded 10 goals and 20 points in 24 regular season games.
The Reds roster also features former Sea Dogs defenseman Benjamin Gagne. Former Dogs forward Nicolas Guay left the team during the COVID pause to go play professional hockey.
Re-live all the action from last nights 3-1 W in the AUS Championship game‼️

The Reds and X-Men had already earned spots in next week's University Cup national championship, hosted by Acadia University. UNB will likely be seeded first or second.
UNB, StFX and Acadia will be joined by Alberta, UBC, Brock and UQTR. There will be one more OUA team attending as well - either Ryerson or McGill - and that will be determined on Saturday.
The University Cup begins Thursday in Wolfville.
