Narayan Ramdhani Honoured as 2021-22 ACAC Men’s Badminton Player of the Year

Edmonton, AB (March 3, 2022) – The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) is pleased to announce Narayan Ramdhani of The King’s University (TKU) has been selected as the 2021-22 ACAC Male Badminton Player of the Year. 

Narayan came out of the gates with a strong showing in the 1st interlock of the season held at The King’s University. Narayan defended home court by winning both mixed doubles with Abigail Ledda and singles as well. In the 2nd interlock of the season, Narayan once again paired with Abigail to win mixed doubles. Narayan narrowly missed repeating as singles champion as he came up short against Smit Patel(NAIT).

This will mark the 3rd consecutive season Narayan will be named to the All-Conference team, and will be Narayan’s first ACAC Male Badminton Player of the Year.

“Narayan’s passion and dedication to the sport has been evident from day 1. Narayan was determined to bring King’s a championship this season. Even during an extremely difficult season with COVID restrictions and a great personal lost, Narayan’s focus has never wavered. We are so proud to see how he helps his teammates during practices and how much they love and respect him in return.”

Originally from Georgetown, Guyana. Narayan is in his 4th year with The King’s University studying towards a business degree. This has been a difficult season for Narayan as he suffered the loss of his father, Gokarn Ramdhani. However, it has also made him even more determined to accomplish his dream to represent his home country of Guyana in the summer Olympics. 

This prestigious award will be recognized at the 2022 ACAC Badminton Championship hosted by Olds College in Olds, Alberta.
