It was a jam-packed weekend of top notch squash at the OUA and Jesters University League Championships at White Oaks, hosted by Brock University in Niagara. History was once again made by Western University Men whose coach Chris Hanebury kept Hall of Famer Jack Fairs’ legacy intact by winning their 38th straight OUA championships – the longest such streak in North American sports. They defeated a very strong University of Toronto led by male Coach of the Year John Lennard and league MVP Mike McCue.

The biggest Open and Masters event of the year is upon us this weekend as the 2022 YouFirst Financial Ontario Open Championships takes court at Mayfair Lakeshore on Friday March 18th - Sunday March 20th.

Squash Ontario is happy to present “The Grand Golf Bazaar” - our 2022 annual charity golf classic. It has been a challenging start to the year, but things are finally getting back to normal. To help grow squash and take the sport we love to new heights, we are back with our primary fundraising event of the year. All proceeds from this event will go towards our 2022-2023 sport development initiatives. Looking forward to seeing the squash fraternity on the golf course this summer!

The Competitions Coordinator will be responsible for the facilitation of roughly 50 squash tournaments throughout the season. This will include all administration leading up to junior circuit, club sanctioned, and championship tournaments prior to event day, with some event day support as needed. Applications should be submitted no later than April 20th.

The “Canadian Squash Hall of Fame” has been created under the auspices of Squash Canada, to preserve the history of all aspects of squash in Canada. Any Canadian citizen or resident, or Canadian organization or entity can submit a nomination for selection/induction consideration.

Squash Ontario is pleased to share an end of season update of the Jesters University League with you all. After navigating multiple lockdowns, new school protocols and restrictions, our dedicated coaches, players and sponsors came together to make sure this season could happen!

After a turbulent start to the year, it was a pleasure to see the 2022 Portage M&A Advisory Regional Masters being held at The Club at White Oaks this past weekend. The tournament ran smoothly thanks to the hard work put in by our tournament chair Matt Easingwood. However, it was all of you who really made this event a success by participating passionately and displaying team work through out.
