The Thunderbirds faced off against the Lethbridge Pronghorns on December 1 and 3 and will play versus the Regina Cougars on January 12 and 13. Net proceeds from ticket sales will support UBC athletics.

"The Vancouver Canucks are pleased to continue to build upon our strong relationship with UBC Athletics and UBC Alumni by having a four game series played at General Motors Place," said Senior Vice President and General Manager Dave Nonis. "We have a number of unique events surrounding the games for our fans that will allow us to celebrate the past, present and future of hockey."
