The game was great, but the food service was quite poor. How could they not have prepped and pre-wrapped hotdogs well in advance. The menu was so limited to start with, yet the wait for those few items were 30-minutes+, well past 7pm scheduled start time.

This event was so much fun. Both teams did a great job. It had skill, excitement, penalties, shoot out, substitutions and just a whole lot of fun. I loved that we had 5 coaches and UBC only had 1. I brought 2 people with me and they had a blast.

Amazing event, put together in a couple of weeks. Lots of fun, good entertainment in support of some great causes. Liked the use of BC Lions - Paul McCallum for the puck drop. The UBC players did a pretty good job and were great in the shoot-out antics. What can you say when Michael Buble shows up to play (although we undertstand he did not feel he could keep up with the Sedins) but donated $100,000 to the cause ayway. Great crowd, very pro Canucks but the UBC students were not too shabby either. We seldom if ever get to see Michael Buble and most of the Canucks players up close even as Canucks Seasons Ticket Holders. Loved the Game jersey presentation to the little kids - went over very well. Liked having "The Moj & Dave Tomlinson" onsite doing their 1040 segment.

We all had a fabulous time at this event (and one of us isn't really a diehard hockey fan like the rest of us are). It was very well organized and entertaining ('cept at the end of the 2nd when Bieksa's Buddies were down 7-3 :). And, the kids. They are beautiful. So nice to be able to be a part of this.

I had the best time at Beiska's Buddies Charity Tournament! It felt so good to wear my hockey jearsey and be part of something big.

First, assuming Michael Buble would sing Oh Canada and when the moment came, being surprised by The Canadian Tenors who took on the task. It was such a treat to have both high profile Entertainers in the building. Second, the game constantly flowed with minimal game stoppages after each goal was scored. Third, UBC Thunderbirds showed their competitive edge and put on a show! Last but not least, the pre-planned Shoot-Out was above and beyond any expectations.

This event was so much fun, it made me forget that I hate the Canucks. It was for a good cause. Missed opportunity not having Michael Buble sing the national anthem, but The Tenors killed it.

Only complaint was the concessions. My friend missed the entire second period waiting for french fries. If debit/credit is such a problem, just do cash only.

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!

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.
