The UBC Quidditch Club was founded in 2010 as an AMS Club. Since 2012, UBC Quidditch played in the toughest league of Quidditch (United States Quidditch); however this year marks major change, as we switch to the Canadian league (Quidditch Canada) and begin an inaugural year as a UBC Thunderbird Sport Club.

Perennially, UBC Quidditch has been one of the strongest teams in BC and most of its surrounding area, with victories against teams all over BC and Washington, as well as sharing an intense neck-and-neck rivalry with the 2016-17 National Champions (the Edmonton Aurors), going 3-2 with them over the course of the season (including the loss in the National Championship semifinal). This year, we hope to win Western Regionals again, and bring the National Championship title home to UBC.

The UBC Thunderbirds Quidditch Sport Club will be hosting multiple fundraisers and events throughout the year including the Yule Ball 2017 – Our annual formal ball with drinks, live music and ballroom dancing.
As well, stay tuned for our Purdy’s Chocolate sale later in the season!

Those interested in trying Quidditch for the first time or participating on a more recreational team are encouraged to join our AMS Quidditch Club. More information can be found here: http://www.ubcquidditch.com/
