Fewest goals
The 2 goal aggregate in the Championship final represented the lowest ever to date – one lower than the previous record of 3 (1990, 2–1 and 2003 3–0). The shutout was the fourth shutout in a Championship final (1972, 2003, 2011 and 2013) and the first time a team has accomplished it twice (UNB’s 4th Championship title in 2011 was a 4–0 shutout of McGill).
