Mike Mosher is a name that is synonymous with success in Canadian university sport.
As the head coach of the most successful men’s soccer program in the history of the CIS, Mosher has guided the UBC Thunderbirds to four national titles (2005, 2007, 2012, and 2013) and owns an incredible 20-4 record in games played at the CIS Men’s Soccer Championship tournament. He also served as the head coach of the team at the 1994 nationals, which also ended with UBC taking home the championship banner.
Mosher is beginning his 21st season as the bench boss with the Blue and Gold and will reach the milestone of 200 regular season and playoff wins as UBC's coach.
He was honoured as the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Coach of the Year in 2013 and the Canada West Coach of the Year on three different occasions (2009, 2013 and 2015).
Mosher's 2013 conference and national championship-winning squad won the school's 13th CIS title and was named Sport BC's Team of the Year, while the 2012 team went undefeated in non-conference, Canada West and playoff action to become the best in the nation.
In 2010, the T-Birds won their third Canada West championship under Mosher’s direction. The squad then went on to collect a silver medal at the CIS Championship. For his efforts, Mosher was named the Adult Coach of the Year by BC Soccer.
Internationally, Mosher served as Canada’s head coach at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, as well as an assistant with the 2007 squad that competed in Thailand.
As a player with UBC, Mosher was a T-Bird for five years, during which time he contributed to three national championship runs in 1989, ‘90 and ‘91.
He was named Most Valuable Player of the 1989 gold-medal squad and was also a CIS All-Canadian in 1990. He’s already in the UBC Sports Hall of Fame as the 1989-91 teams were enshrined in 2013.
Mosher also played four years with the Canadian Olympic team and spent four seasons in the Canadian Soccer League with the Edmonton Brickmen and the Winnipeg Fury.
Mosher has won a total of 13 national titles in his playing and coaching career. He has claimed seven at UBC, three as a player and five as a coach, and five more as a player comprised of two senior men’s club crowns, one Under-18 national title, and two U-18 all-star triumphs.
A UBC physical education graduate, he also completed his master’s degree in arts at UBC, specializing in sport management.
