Welcome to UBC Loggers' Sports
The Thunderjacks!
Loggers' sports evolved out of North America's foundation economies, logging! In an effort to show off who had the best skills, loggers' sports began. UBC Loggers' Sports is a great place to try this heritage sport and offers both a recreational and competitive experience,
THE LEGACY CONTINUES...
UBC Loggers' Sports has a competitive team: the Thunderjacks!! In addition to being badass, the Thunderjacks competitively train to combine efficiency, technique and speed in the use of hand saws, chain saws and axes.
