UBC great Onstad enters Canada West Hall of Fame

EDMONTON – Pat Onstad might be best known for his time backstopping MLS squads or the Canadian national team, but along with those highlights he also dominated university soccer with the UBC Thunderbirds.
Onstad manned the net for the T-Birds during the early 1990s, leading the team to four conference championships and three national titles. He was named Tuesday as the latest inductee in the Canada West Hall of Fame.
Following his time at UBC, Onstad would see his pro career flourish eventually landing in the MLS with the San Jose Earthquakes. There he would win an MLS Cup in 2003, while also being named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.
