Game time is family time for a surprising number of �Ӱ�ԭ�� University’s varsity athletes this year.

Across the rosters, from hockey to soccer to rugby and more, there are nine sets of siblings competing on the same team. The Ravens football team alone has three pairs of brothers in the lineup.

Already taking on the unique identity of a student-athlete, these Ravens also have sibling dynamics at play — sharing the highs and challenges of university sport with teammates they’ve known their whole lives.
