In a move that shocked the hockey world and left fans wondering, “Is this a joke?”, it is now official: Connor McDavid is joining the NAIT Ooks men’s hockey team for the 2026/27 season. The NHL superstar made the announcement Friday morning at a press conference held...
Due to a realignment of budgeting priorities, the NAIT Student Orientation (NSO) committee will no longer be serving the popular taco in a bag to new students beginning in the spring 2026 term. Instead, the committee has announced that they will be switching to coffee...
