The Granite Club, under the guidance of Jessica DiMauro and her Granite Club team (the home of the Junior Doubles Championships) hosted the 11th annual Junior Doubles Championships on January 11-13, challenging junior players to take on doubles competition. This event was originally a National Championship, but with Ontario players dominating the event, it has now been facilitated as a Provincial Championship for three years.

The 2018 junior season finished with a bang as 60 juniors, 12 coaches, one bus and dozens of parents and fans descended on Andover, Mass. to take part in the largest junior tournament in the world.
