Greg Mann, Volleyball
Greg, a first year Continuing Education student from Brisbane, Australia, was a force this weekend for the Ooks Volleyball team. Greg's 18 kills on Saturday led the team to a 3-1 victory over the Lakeland Rustlers. He then followed that up with another 17 kills the next day at home. "Greg's size and strength at the net have given the team confidence at the net," said NAIT assistant coach Craig Wourms.

Graeme Harrington, Hockey
Graeme stopped 77 of a total of 79 shots this weekend in a 2-game sweep of the Concordia Thunder. This included a shutout in Friday's game and allowing only 2 goals against on Saturday in Concordia's home rink. "Graeme made some key saves for us this weekend at opportune times," said NAIT coach Terry Ballard. "He gave us an opportunity to get two big wins". Graeme is a 2nd year Business student from Glenside, Saskatchewan.

Gabrielle Pelland, Hockey
Gabrielle scored the Ooks lone goal in their 1-1 tie on Saturday. On Sunday she assisted on the first PP goal to give her team a first period lead and helped lead the Ooks to a 2-1 victory over MacEwan. "Without playing a consistent shift, Gabby is a perfect example of a player who takes advantage of the opportunities she is given," said NAIT Coach Deanna Iwanika. "Gabby is an offensive threat the moment she leaves our blue line." Gabrielle is a 1st year Continuing Education student from Edmonton, Alberta.
