CiTR -- Thunderbird Eye

We have a jam-packed show this week as we bring you some interview excerpts from women's soccer and men's hockey, to go along with recapping the hockey season openers, football getting their first win, soccer clashes with TWU, rugby dominance and more!

Breaking news: our very own Mike Liu is a trainer on the UBC Football team! In this episode we chat with him about what the experience of being part of the team has been like this season, after covering our other various Thunderbirds sports highlighted by the continued dominance of golf and women's soccer.

Results were all over the map for our Thunderbirds teams this past week, as golf, women's soccer and women's rugby remained perfect but football, men's soccer and men's rugby all faltered. Also, field hockey began their season.

We celebrate the return to campus for both our soccer and rugby teams! As well, we look at the season debuts for football and cross-country, while golf continues their strong start to the year.

Ahead of the UBC soccer home openers this weekend, Mike sat down with men's soccer standout Chris Lee to discuss his time in the CPL with Pacific FC, as well as his experience at UBC to this point. As well, we cover the latest action for our Thunderbirds golf and women's rugby teams, while multiple other sports played some exhibition matches against SFU.

Our UBC soccer teams began their Canada West seasons with the women's team finding more success, and the Thunderbirds golf teams crushed the competition at their first Cascade Conference tournament of 2021. As well, we brought former CiTR Sports member Nico Roselli back on the show to discuss his soon-to-be-published book!

After a long time away, we kick off the school year with our first live show in 18 months! To celebrate the occasion we look back at some of the highlights of the summer for our Thunderbird athletes and also look ahead at what this season will look like.

In our first show in around a month, Cory sits down with UBC Cheer captain and coach Marika Butzelaar to discuss what university cheerleading is like and how it differs from some common misconceptions about the sport. Also, we cover a busy few weeks in Thunderbirds news and Liz joins the show for the final time.

For the first time we have an interview with a UBC commit, as Cory sat down with high school senior and Manitoba basketball star Olivia Weekes, who will be joining the Thunderbirds women's basketball program in the fall. Also, we have a ton of news to cover from the past few weeks, including a retirement and plenty of Hall of Fame inductions.

One of the biggest events on the UBC campus, Storm The Wall is an open to all students triathlon with a twist in the form of a 12 foot wall you have to scale at the end of the course! To dive into what makes this event so fun, Byron sat down with two Storm The Wall veterans, Daniel Duncombe and JM Jamet!
