NSAC to Host National Championship
 NSAC Athletics will be hosting their 13th CCAA National Championship in March. The eighth basketball event will feature the top eight men's college teams representing the five member conferences of the CCAA. In addition to the winning teams from each member conference, there will be two wildcards (Alberta and Ontario have been awarded the wildcards based on their conference performances in the last three national championships) and a host representative. The decision on who will fill the host spot will be made in late February. NSAC as the actual host, has the first right of refusal for the host position and the decision will be based on the competitive level of the team in comparison to others in the ACAA. Watch NSAC's Athletics website for information on the decision: nsac.ca/athletics The basketball will be top-notch and we hope to see lots of alumni and community spirit supporting the host team and the national event.
