After bouncing around in Div 1 of the NCAA for a few years, Cohee made the incredibly hard decision to give up other Div 1 offers to return home and be the centre piece of an up and coming UBC Thunderbirds squad. Cohee certainly solidified his stock in his fifth and final season - leading his team to a Canada West Championship and a Bronze medal performance at U Sports Nationals, while earning a First Team Canada West All-Star and Second Team All-Canadian.
