The Dalhousie Rams Badminton Team came and conquered on Feb 21st to win the 2026 ACAA Badminton Championship.  By defeating UNBSJ, MTA, UKC and USTA in a hard-fought tournament, the Rams secured a Badminton Championship Banner that eluded them for the past 39 years. 

Joel Côté secured the victory with a thrilling win in Men's Singles vs Tony Su of MTA to take the final team tie 3-2, but it was far from just one athlete who made this championship possible.
