Men's Singles Thomas Ashton (University of King's College) waited a year for another shot at Colin Zhou (Centennial) and created a lasting memory, defeating the reigning national champion in three sets 21-18, 17-21, 21-19. Ashton had an answer for Zhou every time the Colts' star tried to gain the momentum in the match, delivery clutch shots throughout. Smit Patel (NAIT), the 2022 national champion, captured the bronze medal, defeating Eason Wong (SAIT) 21-14, 21-14. |

Women's Doubles Abby Ledda and Cecilia Wolski of the The King's University Eagles were the feel-good team of the championship. The two fifth-year players entered the gold medal match with memories of falling short in both 2022 and 2023 in the same spot. The Eagles tandem completed their post-secondary careers capturing the national championship, defeating Giselle Kochapanya and Monique Lee (George Brown) 21-17, 23-21. Anna Dugandzi and Anna Gillies (UKC) defeated Seneca's Hedieh Abbasbeiglou and Tanya Sharma in the bronze medal match 21-12, 21-19. |

Men's Doubles Jason Chiu and Pau Ouano of the SAIT Trojans continued to be the best Men's Doubles team in the championship, completing a 7-0 event with a hard-fought 21-15, 17-21, 21-17 win over Roshan Jacob and Arpi Sinha of Fanshawe. Eric Peng and Anthony Tso of the host Sting defeated Greg Friske and Anirudh Sharma (NAIT) in the bronze medal match. This is the third national medal for Tso, previously capturing a gold (2022) and bronze (2023) in men's doubles. |

Seneca's Anthony Tso received the Eileen Harle Exemplary Leadership Award voted by the awards committee (head official, convenor and CCAA representative). Tso's friendly smile, positive attitude and sportsmanship throughout made the third year player an easy choice for the committee.

The top ACAC team topped the standings in three disciplines and consisted of Jasleen Kaur (Concordia), Eason Wong (SAIT), Abby Ledda and Cecilia Wolski (The King's University), Jason Chiu and Paul Ouano (SAIT) and Mahdi Ahmadi and Khushi Vaniya (The King's University). |
