In the men's final, the Memorial Sea-Hawks won their second AUS title, stealing a 6–5 victory from the UNB Reds. It was a second title for Memorial University of Newfoundland who last won the title eight years prior in 2017. The win also snapped a six-year title streak from the Dalhousie Tigers who missed the playoffs in a shocking result.

In the women's final, the Dalhousie Tigers reclaimed the championship title by downing the St. Francis Xavier X-Women 7–2 in the final. The Tigers previously won four straight AUS titles before losing the final in 2024. The reigning champions, the UNB Reds, lost in the semifinal to Dalhousie.
