Ice hockey was first organized in 1928 and played seven games, that year, losing once. Big event then was the annual Varsity Invasion when the UBC teams came over to play. Other organized sports then were women's and men's basketball, girls, grass hockey and golf. Main competitors, besides Varsity, were University School and the Normal School.
