The NAIT Ooks badminton team led by 2^nd-year head coach Sinead Cheah are looking to continue their ACAC dominance in 2017-2018 and once again qualify for Nationals.

Last season was a huge success NAIT was able to qualify ten athletes total (5 female & 5 males) to participate in the CCAA Badminton National Championship. Though they didn't come out of the CCAA championships with the prospected medals they were striving for; it was a successful year all around. "It was a season of firsts in accomplishments and experiences," said head coach Sinead Cheah.

The team has come back stronger than last year with quite a few veterans returning and the addition of female player Eyota Kwan. With continued experience and a seasoned outlook on the competition, the Ooks hope to come out on top again this year in the ACAC, hope to come home with a few National medals. "This is our year," said Cheah

The NAIT Ooks will open up their season this Sunday, Nov.19^th when they head to the first ACAC tournament of the season being held at the Concordia University of Edmonton.
