In honour of the contributions made by Pete Kelly as UNB's long-time head coach in the 50s and 60s and his dual roll as Head Coach and Athletic Director in the late 60s and early 70s - UNB Hockey hosts a tournament/challange cup each season over the Christmas break to acknowledge his commitment to UNB athletics. The event was created by Head Coach Gardiner MacDougall with the first tournament occuring over the Christmas break of 2005-06. 16th Pete Kelly Cup - 2022 (Sep. 25) Champions: UNB Reds A one-game winner take all between UNB and visiting McGill University Redbirds. McGill was scheduled to play UNB the previous winter, over the Christmas Break, but the OUA and Provincial COVID restrictions cancelled all hockey over the break. The game moved to the pre-season likely due to a busy Christmas break for Gardiner (Head Coach of Team Canada-FISU) and Moncton/Halifax hosting the Wolrd Junior Championships. UNB outshot McGill 33-30 and won the game 5-2. 15th Pete Kelly Cup - 2019 (Dec. 29) Champions: UNB Reds A one-game winner take all between #1 UNB and visiting University of Windsor Lancers (OUA-West Division #2 with a 12-4-1 record, three points behind the University of Toronto). UNB had scheduled five pre-season exhibition games leaving them with just one game to play Windsor. UNB's pre-season game vs Acadia was cancelled, but Windsor had already scheduled to play UdeM in Edmonston on the 28th so a 2nd game vs UNB was not an option. The UdeM game never occurred however, due to weather, but Windsor wasn't able to stay in Fredericton an extra day. UNB outshot Windsor 49-26 on their way to a 4-0 shutout win (Samual Harvey). 14th Pete Kelly Cup - 2018 (Dec. 29) Champions: UNB Reds A one-game winner take all between #1 UNB and visiting UCup Host Lethbridge.
