- Both goaltenders were awarded with a tie and 65 minutes played, despite the game-winning goal that came at 61:29.
- UNB's players tallied 42 shots on the Saint Mary's goalie, but Brandon Verge only faced 38 shots because four of those were double-counted for "Nathan O\'nabigon" and Nathan O'Nabigon. This also added a phantom assist to the UNB total, which doesn't seem so bad, but it's really, really hard to get credit for seven assists on three goals.
- "Denny Johnson" scored for UNB 11 seconds into the third period and Denny Johnston was credited with a goal on the scoresheet. The latter is correct.
- Nathan Beausoleil is also misnamed as Nathen.
- And who knows what else.
It's not easy to keep score in a game as fast as hockey, but these are easily-avoided factual mistakes. Players and coaches talk about stepping up their game for the conference finals and it sure would be nice to see the scorekeepers do the same.

Brandon Verge played on the same AAA midget team as Sidney Crosby! Don't ask how I know that!
It would be easier not to criticize this if it was just a one-off, but this happens almost every time in every OUA game with a boxscore (and probably in other associations too). One of the first ways to increase your sport's visibility is make sure that the information you put out is accurate: I can understand why a lot of major media give little space to the OUA and CIS when they pull off amateur stuff like this.
