The event we all look forward to is back with the 8th Annual Cambridge Cup returning to the Toronto in just a few weeks, featuring the best squash players on the planet. Over the last decade, the Cambridge Cup has established itself as THE premier event on the Canadian squash calendar. 

The Canadian Men's and Women's Team Championships took place this past weekend in Moncton, New Brunswick, and Gatineau, Quebec respectively. Each province sent three of their top players to the three day events and Team Ontario consisted of Albert Shoihbet, Ahad Raza, and Mohonad Hekel for the men and Micaala Seth, Marnie Baizley, and Marlow Benson for the women. 

The University of Western Ontario squash players are training hard because their biggest match of the year takes place this Saturday!  Saturday January 7th the Mustangs play US Naval Academy in London Ontario.  The event will be hosted at London Squash and Racquet Club located at 76 Albert St, London Ontario. 

Given the holiday season, the Ontario Squash Hall of Fame Board of Directors is extending the deadline for nominations to 15 January 2017. The Board encourages all members of the Ontario squash community to submit nominations for the Hall of Fame.

As the holidays and close of 2016 draw near, let's take a moment to recount the number of amazing matches and tournaments this year has seen. Congratulations and thank you to all those who worked hard to earn a provincial title, those who play in almost every tournament, those who stepped into tournaments for the first time, and those who encouraged their friends and family to pick up a racquet and join them in squash. 

15 years and counting! The Fast Eddie Junior Bronze run by Jim Paton at the Granite Club isn't slowing down anytime soon.  Thank you Jim for introducing these new players to tournament play in memory of Edward O'Brien.

The first weekend of December proved to be a heavy squash weekend with the Badminton & Racquet club quarterbacking multiple Squash Ontario events! Alongside the biggest Ontario Doubles event in recent years, the Jester's Harrow Junior Silver #4 event took place at the Badminton & Racquet Club as well as the Toronto Lawn & Tennis Club. 

Seventy seven hours of doubles pandemonium is now officially in the books as Championship Sunday lived up to the hype, providing fans with seven new provincial championship teams, many in dramatic style including five game thrillers in both the men’s and women’s open finals.
