About the UBC Old Birds
The Old Birds is a group of “old-timer” recreational hockey players consisting of retired UBC faculty, staff, alumni and friends. They have been playing friendly games among themselves at UBC on Monday afternoons for more than 30 years followed by a “fourth” period social and discussion hour. Their interest in the UBC Women’s Hockey Team began in the 1990’s when two of their members had daughters on the team.
The group supports student-athlete awards as well as the purchase of tables for the annual KPMG Thunderbird Scholarship Breakfast and direct financial donations to the team to help with travel, equipment and various special projects.
