The Reds won their sixth straight AUS men's hockey title with a 3-0 victory over the Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleus on Tuesday night, taking the best-of-three championship series 2-0.
Both the Reds and Aigles Bleus had already qualified for the University Cup in Toronto. UNB, who has not lost a game all season, will likely be the No. 1 seed.
