Mission Statement

The Ontario Squash Hall of Fame was created by Squash Ontario to promote a greater awareness of the history of squash in Ontario by recognizing individuals for their outstanding achievements and exceptional contributions to the game; and to preserve the heritage of the game.

Established 2005

Every sport should have a home for heroes - the individuals who over the years, were responsible for the growth and development of the game.  We guarantee our future when we honour our past.

Permanent Home

The Board of Directors of Squash Ontario is very pleased to announce that the permanent home of the Ontario Squash Hall of Fame is White Oaks Resort and Conference Centre in Niagara on the Lake.

A tendering process was initiated with all 150 member squash facilities and the Board received and reviewed 4 excellent submissions.  White Oaks was chosen based on the published selection criteria which included but was not limited to the amount of traffic, both general and squash, the club receives; the proposed location within the facility and the commitment by the facility to promote the Hall of Fame.

Board of Governors

The Board of Directors of Squash Ontario has established an Ontario Squash Hall of Fame Board of Governors which will be responsible for the biennial nomination and induction ceremony.  This Board of Governors is peopled by individuals who represent both the soft ball and doubles games as well as reflective of the age categories.  And last but by no means least, the individuals on the Board of Governors will have a respect for and interest in the history of the game of squash in Ontario.

The Ontario Squash Hall of Fame, while created by Squash Ontario, acts at arms length from the Squash Ontario Board of Directors although the chair is always a past president of the Association and the Board of Directors approves all budgetary expenditures.

Appointed to the Board of Governors:

Chair,  Rob Brooks (past president Squash Ontario) (Toronto)

Vincent Taylor (Ottawa)

Penny Glover (Ottawa)

Scott Dulmage (Toronto)

Anne Smith (Kingston)

Mark Sachvie (St. Catharines)
