Note 1: The Queen's Cup championship game must be held in Ontario (part of the arrangement when the RSEQ hockey league merged with the OUA). When a Quebec based OUA-East representative is the higher seed and should 'host' the game - the game shall be hosted by the OUA-West team instead, but the OUA-East team shall be the 'home' team and have last change.

Note 2: Since the University Cup wild-card spot was allocated to the AUS Conference, the OUA did not hold a 3rd Place/Bronze medal game.

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 & 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).

Tournament All-Stars

Tyler Carroll, from the UNB Varsity Reds, was selected as the Major W.J. 'Danny' McLeod Award for CIS University Cup MVP.[4] Carroll led all players in goals (4) and was second in points with 4.

Joining Carroll on the tournament all-star team were:
Forward: Nick MacNeil (UNB Varsity Reds)
Forward: Cory Tanaka (Saint Mary's Huskies)
Defenseman: Jesse Craige (Alberta Golden Bears)
Defenseman: Marc-Antoine Desnoyers (UNB Varsity Reds)
Goalie: Dan LaCosta (UNB Varsity Reds)
