In the final, second place and 3rd-seeded U.P.E.I. upset regular season champ Acadia 74-72. Panthers coach George Morrison said tournament MVP Peter Gordon was “fantastic. He just made stuff one-on-one when Acadia had shut everything else down. It’s hard to think he could do much more than he did today.”
After the season, New Brunswick coach Don Nelson technically took a one-year sabbatical. But he did not return, so it effectively proved a retirement.
