From a championship-winning final play to record-setting seasons, 2025 was another year to remember for UBC Thunderbirds and UBC Okanagan Heat athletes.

And the wins weren't limited to the athletic arena. At UBC Vancouver, 240 Thunderbirds were honoured as Academic All-Canadians after posting at least an 80 per cent average in 2024-25 an eight per cent increase from the previous year and the second-highest total the program has ever recorded.
At UBC Okanagan, a record 113 Heat student-athletes hit that same academic standard.
