After some time away for #ExamSZN, we're back with our first summertime episode (even if it might not seem like that outdoors just yet). We covered the Golf CCC Championships, plenty of baseball, softball and track & field, and all of the Thunderbirds honoured at the annual Big Block Awards.
On this episode we welcomed former CiTR Sports member and UBC Football defensive back Nelson Uzonwa to the studio! We chatted about his time here at UBC, his experience at the CFL combine and more. We also covered all the latest Thunderbirds news including the Men's Hockey National Championships.

The U-Sports Swimming and Women's Hockey Championships took place this past weekend, and the Thunderbirds came away with a gold and a silver on the water. We recap all that as well as Track & Field and Baseball, plus we sit down with Nicole Salas of the UBC Softball team for an interview!
Today was a milestone marker for the show, as for the first time since before the pandemic we had an interview live in the studio! It was with fellow CiTR programmer Valie Madejska, who is a member of the UBC Artistic Swimming team. After chatting with her we covered the end of the conference playoffs for men's hockey and women's volleyball, the beginning of the track and field season, and more!

UBC women's hockey are Canada West champions! That is our headline news for this week, as women's volleyball also looked to grab the spotlight with a continued strong playoff run. After recapping that along with baseball and softball action we chatted with our own Mike Liu about his final couple weeks in Beijing and his overall thoughts on his time at the Olympics.
We have a PACKED show this week as hockey, volleyball and basketball all began their playoff runs with some mixed success, and baseball and softball had their home openers in their games here on campus in over two years. If that wasn't enough, we also had the first golf tournament of the new year! So yeah, strap in for this one

There was not any new Thunderbirds sports action this past week, so for our final show of 2021 we take a look back at all that went down this semester here at UBC. We also have an interview with women's hockey player Shay-Lee McConnell to talk about the team's strong start to the season and what it was like being named to the Team Canada roster for the 2021 Universiade.
Our Thunderbird teams are now on winter break after hockey, basketball and volleyball played their final games of the calendar year this past weekend.

We recap men's rugby's dominant performance at the Canadian University Rugby Championships, as well as how UBC athletes did at the Canada West Swimming Championships and the Canadian Cross Country Championships. Elsewhere, men's hockey staked their claim as one of the top teams in the country, volleyball ran into some tough opposition and basketball continued to (mostly) roll.
Things weren't quite as rosy for the Thunderbirds this week, as soccer and cross country were all unable to medal at their Nationals and men's hockey had their perfect start to the season snapped. We also have some clips from men's rugby ahead of the Canadian University Championships and the second part of our interview with UBC golf coach Chris Macdonald.
