The Simon Fraser Men’s hockey team failed to repeat as the winners of the University Hockey Challenge last weekend. The challenge consisted of two games between rivals UBC and SFU. Each team had one home game.
The first game was indicative of last years bought which saw SFU winning in a tie-breaking shootout in the second game. Unfortunately, SFU lost 4–3 with 2:24 remaining in the overtime period at Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
SFU competes in a different league than UBC, which became apparent in the next game at Bill Copeland Arena. UBC destroyed SFU 8–0 to sweep the series and the 2012 title.
