This is Andrew's first season as a coach with the UBC Thunderbirds. A former UBC standout, he played five seasons (2003-04, 04-05, 05-06, 06-07, 07-08) under head coach Richard Schick, leading the T-Birds back to the national stage with two CIS Championship tournament appearances during his tenure.
A multi-time Canada West all-star, his fiery on court persona and aggressive attacking always made him a fan favourite with the T-Bird faithful. His best individual season came in 2006-07 when he finished second in the conference in both points (4.59) and kills (3.82) and was fourth in service aces (0.38) per game.
After his CIS career, Andrew played one season with the Örkelljunga Volleyboll Klubb (Sweden). He led his team in scoring that season and ranked third overall in the Swedish Elite Series. He was 2008 nominee for the Elite Series Player of the Year, helping lead his club to the Svenska Cupen and a Grand Prix silver medal.
Before coming West, he played club for the OVA Ganaraska Wolves and was a member of Team Ontario while attending CDCI East Collegiate High School in Cobourg, Ont. Andrew’s uncle is former NHL goaltender Mike Liut.
