CiTR -- Thunderbird Eye

The two high-powered offenses from the lower mainland go for the kill in order to claim sole possession of first in Canada West.

Rugby and swimming return to the weekly ledger while it was Winter Classic time for hockey, Legends Cup action for basketball, and a victorious weekend for volleyball against the Manitoba Bisons.

It is COLD! And so were three of the T-birds teams this past weekend including women’s volleyball and our two hockey teams who went a collective 0-6. But, both basketball squads swept Trinity Western and men’s volleyball thrashed MacEwan on the road.

The two lower mainland rivals face off in a historic weekend for both UBC basketball coaches.

The Thunderbirds are back in action with basketball splitting a road series in Fraser Valley and hockey getting swept against the Calgary Dinos. The crew also previews upcoming volleyball matches and the other spring sports with some new voices on the air!

Our final show of the calendar year looks back at the biggest moments on the court or field, and in the booth for the UBC Thunderbirds in 2019.

The final week of sports action for the Thunderbirds in 2019 featured some highs for basketball, men's volleyball, and men's rugby while both hockey sides and women's volleyball closed the calendar year with disappointing finishes.

This past week volleyball took down the TRU side 3-1 at home, basketball swept their sister school out in Kelowna, hockey came away with the opposite outcome of the basketball, swimming WON the Canada West title for the 7th straight and 11th straight years (SLURPEE TIME), and Men’s rugby played a gritty and shocking championship.

Cory Branson chats with UBC football's 2nd year wide receiver Jacob Patten about his game and twitter habits while the crew recaps volleyball's perfect weekend, basketball taking three of four from UNBC, hockey flexing in Lethbridge, and men's rugby searching for a three-peat Canadian University Men's Rugby Championship title.
