Despite a courageous performance from UBC men's hockey team, taking the game to double overtime, the Patriotes knocked them out of the tournament by handing them a 2–1 loss.
After winning 1–0 in the fourth and final game of the weekend series, the T-Birds secured a split weekend series.
This season was nothing short of impressive, and with a first-round bye, the UBC men's hockey team will now set their sights on returning to the conference finals, and reaching their ultimate goal of playing for the University Cup.
With a smile, Butenschön remarked that his team will take 24 hours to celebrate the victory, before turning their full attention to the Canada West finals. UBC will head to Edmonton to take on the University of Alberta Golden Bears in two weeks time, with the winner taking home a championship banner.
For Toth, the opportunity has been the cherry on top of an astonishing final season with UBC. He currently leads the Canada West in nearly every goaltending statistic, posting a .930 save percentage and a 1.99 GAA with a record of 10–3–1.
