2025/26 Junior Award Winners
This past weekend, the Squash Ontario community gathered for the 2025–2026 Ontario Junior Recognition Awards Ceremony, proudly supported by The Jesters Club of Ontario. Held on Saturday, March 28 at the Club at White Oaks, the event took place alongside the Ontario Junior Open—marking a key moment in the provincial junior season.
The evening recognized athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers for their contributions over the past year. From competitive results to sportsmanship and coaching impact, the awards reflect the range of efforts that shape junior squash in Ontario.
Set against one of the season’s major events, the ceremony offered a natural point to pause and acknowledge the work put in throughout the year—both on and off the court. The stories behind the awards highlighted not only performance, but the consistency, commitment, and support systems that drive development across the province.
Thank you to The Jesters Club of Ontario for their ongoing support of this event, and to everyone who attended and contributed to the evening.
As the season continues, the focus now shifts toward the final stages of competition and what’s ahead for Ontario’s junior athletes.
