Last season, the UNB Reds went undefeated all year. In the playoffs, they didn't just win each game, they shut out every team they faced.
As the University of New Brunswick men’s hockey team hoisted the university cup last season, an idea sprouted at a farm in Florenceville-Bristol, N.B.
Chip and Tom Hunter decided to carve their cornfield into a maze to celebrate the hockey team that carved out its place in history.
“They weren't just the best team. They were head and shoulders above everybody else,” said Chip Hunter.
Last season, the UNB Reds went undefeated all year. In the playoffs, they didn't just win each game, they shut out every team they faced.
It planted the seed for the Hunter brothers to use their six acres to crown the champions in a canvas of corn.
“They won every game and they weren't scored upon. It was just unbelievable,” said Chip Hunter.
A bird's eye view shows the design: the UNB Reds' 43-0 record, their university cup and an image of Gardiner MacDougall, the long-time head coach who led the team and has retired from UNB. He now coaches the Moncton Wildcats.
