Ubc Thunderbirds Tickets

Thank you Kevin, as well as a big thank you to all your buddies and Michael Buble (such generosity) and the Thunderbirds. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. What a treat to see so many of my favorite players so close in my home town. While we are HUGE fans, we really cannot afford Canucks tickets here. I have only seen the Canucks play once in Boston last year (what a game!). It was great to see everyone having fun and there were a number of touching moments with the various charities. It is clear there is so much talent and heart on our Canucks team! I hope the lock out ends soon, so we can get back to cheering you on; even if it is only in front of the TV. Go Canucks Go! We felt lucky to get tickets to this great event. We might even come out to see a Thunderbirds Game this season!

The game was great to watch, you could tell the players were playing for the enjoyment of the game.

Vancouver is blessed to have Kevin Bieksa on our Vancouver team as a Canuck! He organized a chairty event hockey game last Wednesday with some of his buddies against the UBC Thunderbirds. Not only did this event give hockey fans a taste of the action, during the lockout, but it raised money and awareness for multiple kids' charities. It was a lot of fun and exciting to see all the players (and Buble) for such a low cost. Thanks Bieksa!!! So happy and inspired by your Canadian characteristics!

It was a great night for hockey starved fans, with a balance familiar players with highly developed skills, and a group of young, skilled, and improving University hockey stars. The impression that I drove home with was a feeling of pride in the skill level of the Thunderbirds play, and the respect shown by each team, for the other teams skill & efforts. I felt that Bieksa's buddies allowed the T-Birds to show their solid teamwork, while still giving the fans the occasional burst of speed, and skills, that we are familiar with at the NHL level. Kudos to Kevin, and to all of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the night a success. There were no losers on the ice, and the biggest winners were the Charities benefitting from the game.

Great new arena and a great event for charity. Thank you Kevin Bieksa and friends, and UBC Thunderbirds, for putting on a great show.
